Bullying Bonn
Explores British diplomatic efforts to induce the German government to abandon, modify and, later, enlarge the EEC. The author argues that UK diplomacy between the Messina conference and the first membership application was counterproductive, making Britain seem hostile towards integration.
Canada and the End of Empire
Sir John Seeley once wrote that the British Empire was acquired in "a fit of absence of mind." Whatever the truth of this comment, it is certainly arguable that the Empire was dismantled in such a fit. This collection deals with a neglected subject in post-Confederation Canadian history -- the implications to Canada and Canadians of British decolonization and the end of empire. Canada and the End of Empire looks at Canadian diplomatic relations with the United Kingdom and the United States, the Suez crisis, the changing economic relationship with Great Britain in the 1950s and 1960s, the role of educational and cultural institutions in maintaining the British connection, the royal tour of 19...

Der Hochverrat des Amtmanns Povel Juel
Kopenhagen 1723. Der norwegische Amtmann Povel Juel soll Peter dem Großen angetragen haben, eine russische Kolonie auf Grönland zu errichten. Auf dem Weg dorthin wollte er Island, die Färöer und Norwegen erobern - mithin Erblande des dänischen Königs. Ein verwegener Hochverrat, der das Machtgefüge im Norden Europas durcheinandergewirbelt hätte, wäre der Plan nicht ans Licht gekommen. So aber ließ der König seinen Amtmann grausam hinrichten. Martin Schaad unterzieht die Prozessakten einer Revision und versucht damit Povel Juel zu rehabilitieren. Ein mikrohistorischer Streifzug durch die Geschichte des Strafrechts, der Wikinger, der Navigation, der Kartographie, des Klimas und des bargeldlosen Zahlungsverkehrs.
