War, Peace, and Power: Diplomatic History of Europe, 1500–2000

For much of the past five centuries, the history of the European continent has been a history of chaos, its civilization thrown into turmoil by ferocious wars or bitter religious conflicts—sometimes in combination—that have made and remade borders, created and eliminated entire nations, and left a legacy that is still influencing our world.

A History of Diplomacy

Almost 5,000 years ago, messengers traveled to and from the city-states of Mesopotamia on missions of war and peace. Clay tablets discov­ered in Persia, now known as Iran, tell the story of these early diplomatic missions. Our diplomatic tradition dates back to the cities of ancient Greece, where messengers known as “heralds” were the first diplomats. The booklet, contains 93 pages only, but explains main principles of US policy from the view-point of Bureau of Public Affairs > Office of the Historian> Office of Broadcast Services - governmental body.

The second volume of The  History of Russia covers the imperial period (1689-1917). It encompasses political, economic, social, cultural, diplomatic, and military history.

A Companion to American Foreign Relations is an authoritative volume of historiographical essays that survey the state of U.S. diplomatic history. The essays cover the entire range of the history of American foreign relations from the colonial period to the present. They discuss the major sources and analyze the most influential books and articles in the field. The contributors -- eminent scholars and experts in their subject matter--delve deeply into the literature and integrate discussions of new methodological approaches with more traditional diplomatic history.

After nearly a dozen books and service as secretary of state for presidents Nixon and Ford, Kissinger has established himself as a major thinker, writer, and actor on the world's diplomatic stage. His newest work is a remarkable survey of the craft of international relations from the early 17th century to the present era. Beginning with the 1648 Peace of Westphalia, Kissinger summarizes three centuries of Western diplomacy, giving special attenton to the influence of Wilsonian idealism on 20th-century American foreign policy. He is not shy about describing his own contributions to Nixon's foreign gambits, nor is he reticient about offering his own advice to the current administration on how to handle Russia, China, or the rest of the world. From Kissinger we learn that there is really little new about the New World Order. This is an important contribution to the theoretical literature on foreign affairs and will also serve quite ably as a one-volume synthesis of modern diplomatic history. All libraries should have this impressive book. Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 12/93.
