A Liberal State at War: English Politics and Economics During the Crimean War

London: Macmillan Press, 1967. - 306 pgs. Contemporary Englishmen expected something very different from what actually came to pass from the Crimean War. They expected a long and global war, terrible in scope and decisive in its outcome - decisive not only with regard to power relationships but also to the great issues of liberalism and nationalism. The author examines the constitutional machinery of the British government under the strain of war, the role of publicity, the war and radical ideals, legislative progress, war finance and monetary policy, and war trade and trade war. Unlike in the early 1800s, Britain had to curry favor with neutrals, not overrule them.
