Lawson (history, U. of Alberta) examines the profound effect that the conquest of Quebec had on British policies and imperial thought in the years leading to the signing of the Quebec Act in 1774. He reinterprets the standard accounts of the conquest of Quebec in 1760, challenging prevailing ideas about political traditions and philosophical assumptions in mid-18th-century Britain.

Five Star Publishing is very pleased to welcome noted romance and historical novel writer Roberta Gellis to Speculative Fiction with her sassy, star-crossed adventure. Cyn Lystris leaves Free Trade because he is tired of making deliveries with the goods in one hand and his blaster in the other. Overstars Mail offers him a mail delivery job on a government-approved route. Life as a mailman, however, proves no less exciting when Cyn finds himself embroiled in Imperial politics. The younger son of the Mother Empress intends to challenge his corrupt brother for the throne. The Imperial Challenger boards Cyn's ship in disguise, followed by agents who want to capture or kill him. The trouble is that Cyn has no idea which of his six passengers is the Imperial, which the anti-Imperial agents, and which (if any) are just innocent bystanders along for the ride. Beside that, one of the passengers, Aimie, is particularly intriguing in an entirely different way. However pleasant, romantic adventures only add to the confusion. Foiling one attempt at sabotage and diversion from his route after another, Cyn manages to deliver the mail and the Imperial Challenger in a quick-witted, hair-raising ride through the galaxy. Roberta Gellis has received many awards, including the Lifetime Achievement Award for Historical Fantasy, and the Romance Writers of America's Lifetime Achievement Award.

Easy Prey is a systematic and thorough evaluation of Australia’s capability in defending itself as an independent nation from the perspective of the history of its military intelligence. The quality and timeliness of military intelligence is a cornerstone of sound national security. In three volumes, Easy Prey explores the successes and, more notably, the shortcomings and all-too-frequent stumbling in Australia. It ranges across a panoply of involved parties: the military; the politicians; the early days of the colonies, then later, the states and the Commonwealth; the early settlers; the geographic imperatives; the ‘Mother Country’; a horde of others, especially the Russians, French and Japanese. The more things change, the more they stay the same. The genesis of many of today’s problems is traced back through our colonial and early federation history. Easy Prey draws lessons that will be valuable in informing future strategy and decisions.

The notion of 'empire' has been at the forefront of world politics for over a century. Bernard Porter's landmark work traces the critical response to the British imperial project in the years leading up to World War I. Imperial adventures, including the intervention in Egypt and the Anglo-Boer War, together with the jingoistic clamour that surrounded them, attracted powerful hostility as well as support. "Criticism of Empire" is the subject of Porter's stimulating book. Long regarded as the classic account, the author has now added a substantial new Introduction. He demonstrates the power and influence of major critics such as J.A. Hobson - the acknowledged creator of the 'capitalist theory' of imperialism - E.D. Morel and Mary Kingsley and of organisations like the Congo Reform Association. With themes which are also highly relevant to the present day discourse on the American 'empire', this book will prove essential reading for all students of imperial and international history.

This book is a detailed study of the troubled diplomatic relations between the United States and Germany prior to their break in 1917. Reinhard Doerries focuses on the actions of Johann Heinrich Count von Bernstorff, the Imperial Ambassador in Washington. Bernstorff, a seasoned diplomat, came to Washington in December 1908, during a placid and superficially cordial period in German-American relations. However, the outbreak of the First World War, and particularly the German government's decision in early 1915 to launch an unrestricted submarine campaign against merchant shipping, thrust Bernstorff into the center of a diplomatic firestorm that culminated in an American declaration of war against the German Empire in April 1917. A liberal at heart, and fully at home in Anglo-American politics and society, Bernstorff was a strange representative of the hard-line military leadership and conservative landed gentry steering Germany into the ultimate abyss. In an effort to enable Woodrow Wilson to remain neutral and eventually offer his services as a mediator between the warring European nations, the desperate envoy did everything in his power -- and indeed overstepped his instructions -- to pacify America in the face of such blunders as the torpedoing of the Lusitania. But the Ambassador's conciliatory recommendations fell on deaf ears in Berlin, where ignorance of the realities of international relations and an overestimation of German power reigned supreme. Berlin reacted to Count Bernstorff's advice not by asking Wilson to mediate the conflict but by inviting Mexico to join Germany in declaring war on the United States. Imperial Challenge was first published in German under the title Washington-Berlin, 1908/1917, in 1975, throwing new light on the still-controversial topic of German-American relations prior to 1917 by utilizing new documentary evidence that had become available after World War II. For this American edition, Doerries has undertaken new research, especially in American sources, and he has greatly expanded sections on German espionage, sabotage, and propaganda in the United States from 1914 to 1917. The resulting English-language version of the book is thus the most definitive treatment of German-American diplomatic relations during the critical period prior to U.S. entry into World War I.

Anchored in the Russian Empire, but not limited to it, the eight studies in this volume explore the nineteenth-century imperial responses to the challenge of modernity, the dramatic disruptions of World War I, the radical scenarios of the interwar period and post-communist endgames at the different edges of Eurasia. The book continues and amplifies the historiographic momentum created by Alfred J. Rieber’s long and fruitful scholarly career. First, the volume addresses the attempts of Russian imperial rulers and elites to overcome the economic backwardness of the empire with respect to the West. The ensuing rivalry of several interest groups (entrepreneurs, engineers, economists) created new social forms in the subsequent rounds of modernization. The studies explore the dynamics of the metamorphoses of what Rieber famously conceptualized as a “sedimentary society” in the pre-revolutionary and early Soviet settings. Second, the volume also expands and dwells on the concept of frontier zones as dynamic, mutable, shifting areas, characterized by multi-ethnicity, religious diversity, unstable loyalties, overlapping and contradictory models of governance, and an uneasy balance between peaceful co-existence and bloody military clashes. In this connection, studies pay special attention to forced and spontaneous migrations, and population politics in modern Eurasia.
