A highly detailed examination. [...] A valuable resource for
historians who need an accessible, but comprehensive, account of
the peace negotiations. [...] A work of original scholarship that
analyzes for the first time a crucial episode in the history of the
Napoleonic era.
*NINETEENTH-CENTURY FRENCH STUDIES*
Particularly welcome, especially as it breaks new ground by
covering the peace negotiations as well as the descent into war.
Grainger's study has considerable merits and contains many fresh
insights.
*INTERNATIONAL HISTORY REVIEW*
Thoughtful and interesting work that shows how much can still be
achieved by studies in British foreign policy.. An effective piece
that moves form specifics of diplomacy to wider issues, this is an
impressive work.
*HISTORY*
The wide-ranging resonance of this work makes it of particular
interest.
*AMERICAN HISTORICAL REVIEW*
