Review
'The author bases his arguments on solid sources from German and British archives and demonstrates in this interesting book, which is well worth reading, that the role of monarchs has been unjustly ignored by most historians up to now.' Dr Annika Mombauer, Historische Zeitschrit
'... impressively researched ...' Dr Christopher Clark, St Catharine's College, Cambridge
'... pioneering ... effectively reconstructs the diplomatic histories of the United Kingdom, the Kaiserreich and the Russian Empire from the point of view of their monarchs ... sheds ... light on well-known events, such as the signing of the Entente cordiale, the Moroccan crises and the annexation of Bosnia-Herzegovina ... asks new questions about the role of monarchs within deferential, stratified societies.' Mark Hewitson, English Historical Review
'It is the great virtue of Royalty and Diplomacy in Europe that it asks new questions about the role of monarchs within deferential, stratified societies, and under democratic, mixed, and sometimes unfathomable systems of government.' Oxford Academic Journals
'The edition is a historian's dream ... the kind of reference book that generations of historians have to take into account if they want to understand the processes which led from the German Federation to the German Empire ... a well-balanced selection that will probably please political, social, economic, and military historians alike. the dispatches, which have never been published before, are transcribed and annotated in an exemplary fashion ...' The Historical Journal
