Assassinations and Murder in Modern Italy
by Stephen Gundle and Lucia Rinaldi

However, less is known about the part played in these crucial events by the Mercians - the neighbours and rivals of the West Saxons, who occupied central England. This text re-examines the events of the mid-8th to late-10th centuries to provide a balanced account of the period. Traditionally, historians have fo...

Documents on Irish Foreign Policy, v. 12: 1961-1965 (Documents on Irish Foreign Policy, #12)
From 1961 to 1965 Irish foreign policy embarked on new directions. Under Taoiseach Sean Lemass Ireland sought membership of the EEC, a process which stalled temporarily in 1963 when French President Charles de Gaulle vetoed Britain's application for EEC membership and Ireland's application, along with applications of Denmark and Norway, was halted a result. Away from Europe the first half of the 1960s saw Irish diplomats at the United Nations develop Ireland's position as an independent-minded m...
The Ecclesiastical History of England and Normandy, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint)
by Ordericus Vitalis
Talleyrand wird, mehr als 150 Jahre nach seinem Tod, auch heute noch haufig genannt, und er wird nicht nur als "Furst der Diplomaten", sondern auch als ein "wahrhaft schoepferischer Staatsmann" bezeichnet. Hinter der Darstellung seines Lebens im Mittelpunkt welthistorischer Ereignisse an der Seite Napoleons oder wahrend des Wiener Kongresses ist ein wichtiger Abschnitt seines Lebens eher in den Hintergrund getreten: die Jahre seines Exils in Amerika. Diese fur sein ferneres Lebensschicksal wicht...
