Throughout US history, presidents have had vastly different reactions to naval incidents. Though some incidents have been resolved diplomatically, others have escalated to outright war. What factors influence the outcome of a naval incident, especially when calls for retribution mingle with recommendations for restraint? Given the rise of long range anti-ship and anti-air missile systems, coupled with tensions in East Asia, the Persian Gulf, and the Black and Baltic Seas, the question is more relevant than ever for US naval diplomacy.In Choosing War, Douglas Carl Peifer compares the ways in which different presidential administrations have responded when American lives were lost at sea. He examines in depth three cases: the Maine incident (1898), which led to war in the short term; the Lusitania crisis (1915), which set the trajectory for intervention; and the Panay incident (1937), which was settled diplomatically. While evaluating Presidents William McKinley, Woodrow Wilson, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt's responses to these incidents, Peifer lucidly reflects on the options they had available and the policies they ultimately selected. The case studies illuminate how leadership, memory, and shifting domestic policy shape presidential decisions, providing significant insights into the connections between naval incidents, war, and their historical contexts. Rich in dramatic narrative and historical perspective, Choosing War offers an essential tool for confronting future naval crises.

Writing about other people's gardens presents a challenge which does not apply to writing about one's own. The acerbic comment has to be kept to a minimum, the hard criticism softened, the desire to tell the owners exactly how to improve their efforts diplomatically modified.One of our sagest, most direct and original of gardeners, Christopher Lloyd combines rigour, the keenest observation, an idiosyncratic sense of humour and a lifetime's knowledge and love of plants in his books, which include the bestselling The Well-Tempered Garden. In Other People's Gardens he abandons his famous garden at Great Dixter in order to explore other gardens which both interest and stimulate him, as do their owners, and his choice includes examples from all over Britain, plus a selection from Australia, New Zealand, Japan and the United States.Overwhelmingly evident from the first page is his plantmanship and this, combined with his excellent eye for detail, highlights each individual garden with great precision. The gardens chosen vary widely in location, soil and in their treatment. Although he agrees that 'a garden dies with its owner', it is possible to see in some the residual traces of previous eras, as in the layout at Kingston Maurward. Some, such as Beth Chatto's now celebrated garden, are the work of one presiding spirit and others are affectionate collaborations between friends or spouses.

In Pakistan at the Crossroads, top international scholars assess Pakistan's politics and economics and the challenges faced by its civil and military leaders domestically and diplomatically. Contributors examine the state's handling of internal threats, tensions between civilians and the military, strategies of political parties, police and law enforcement reform, trends in judicial activism, the rise of border conflicts, economic challenges, financial entanglements with foreign powers, and diplomatic relations with India, China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, and the United States.In addition to ethnic strife in Baluchistan and Karachi, terrorist violence in Pakistan in response to the American-led military intervention in Afghanistan and in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas by means of drones, as well as to Pakistani army operations in the Pashtun area, has reached an unprecedented level. There is a growing consensus among state leaders that the nation's main security threats may come not from India but from its spiraling internal conflicts, though this realization may not sufficiently dissuade the Pakistani army from targeting the country's largest neighbor. This volume is therefore critical to grasping the sophisticated interplay of internal and external forces complicating the country's recent trajectory.

The Crimean War (1853-56) between Russia, Turkey, Britain, France and the Kingdom of Sardinia was a diplomatically preventable conflict for influence over an unstable Near and Middle East. It could have broken out in any decade between Napoleon and Wilhelm II; equally, it need never have occurred. In this masterly study, based on massive archival research, David Goldfrank argues that the European diplomatic roots of the war stretch far beyond the `Eastern Question' itself, and shows how the domestic concerns of the participants contributed to the outbreak of hostilities.

Every war leaves an imprint in history, but few have had such a pervasive impact in so many respects as the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905. Politically, it fatally weakened the Russian Empire while allowing Japan to follow more dangerous paths. Diplomatically, it shook the power balance in Europe and reshaped it in the form of two coalitions, leading to World War I. With regard to the art of warfare, it emphasized the use of trench warfare and machine guns on land and the deployment of battleships and the use of torpedoes at sea. Yet, despite its importance at the time, it has become very much a forgotten war. So now, about a century after it took place, is a very appropriate time to remind us with a Historical Dictionary of the Russo-Japanese War that provides considerable breadth and depth of coverage based on Japanese, Russian and Western sources. The breadth is accomplished through a wide-ranging introduction, a detailed chronology and an extensive bibliography. The depth comes in the hundreds of entries on military and political leaders, major battles and lesser encounters, tactics and strategy as well as the weaponry and of course the causes and consequences. The result is the first major reference work on the Russo-Japanese War in English and the largest in any language.

This edition provides a scholarly text, based on the oldest extant vellums, of a little known but fascinating chivalrous romance written in 14th-century Iceland. The texts of the older redaction, as represented by Swedish Royal Library 7, 4to (A) and 7, fol. (B), are given semi-diplomatically on a split page, while that of the later re-casting, as found in Royal Libray 6, 4to (E), is given separately. In certain cases, especially for places damaged in B, ultraviolet photography undertaken in Stockholm has revealed textual and paleographical features that hitherto have gone unnoticed. The introduction examines in painstaking detail the orthography and paleography of each of the manuscript hands, including those in several secondary mss, and also takes up matters of morphology, syntax and punctuation. There are textual notes, listings of variants, an index of names, and five facsimiles.
