The first full analysis of the international thought of the British statesman A. J. Balfour (1848–1930).
"Jason Tomes's new study of the international thought of Arthur Balfour...offers a most stimulating survey of a leading Conservative's attitudes to the great issues of British foreign policy. The great merit of the book is its comprehensiveness." Douglas Newton, Journal of Modern History "The author, who is favourable to Balfour as a statesman and as a man, has clearly delineated both his attitudes to foreign policy and the beliefs which underlay that policy. It is a masterful survey." Contemporary Review
