Congress of Berlin and After

First Published in 1963. The diplomatic history of the Near Eastern settlement which followed the peace of San Stefano has escaped the detailed treatment given in recent years to earlier stages of the Eastern crisis of 1875-1881; some phases of the settlement have been examined in the recent monographs but the full story of the negotiations is still, to a large extent, unknown.
