Palmer, Alan. CROWNED COUSINS: THE ANGLO-GERMAN ROYAL CONNECTION.
Weidenfeld and Nicolson, London, 1985, first edition.
255 pp, large 8vo (9 7/16" H), hard cover in dust jacket. B&w plates, family trees. ISBN 029778711X "Intimate family connections between the great ruling houses of Britain and Germany have existed for over three hundred and fifty years; during th at time the personal affairs of these royal households have played a decisive role in political events and international diplomacy. Germanic influence at court carries no political significance today, but the bonds are still strong: few people r e a l ize, for example, that the present Prince of Wales has sixteen first cousins born into the old princely families of Germany. This book is the first to explore the Anglo-German dynastic relationship, from the marriage in 1613 of James I's d a ug ht er E lizabeth to the Elector Palatine - from which union every reigning monarch in Europe is descended - to the Second World War and beyond. Using new material from the Royal Archieves as well as a wide range of printed sources, especially l ett ers an d m emoirs, Alan Palmer traces the successive ascendencies in German and British political life of the ambitious dynasties of Guelph, Coburg and Battenberg, and examines the love-hate relationship between the royal families in London and Ber lin. ...: Ti ny bump to bottom rear corner.

Palmer, Alan. THE BANNER OF BATTLE: THE STORY OF THE CRIMEAN WAR.
Weidenfeld and Nicolson, London, (1987), Ist edition.
289 pp, large 8vo, hard cover in dust jacket. B&w photos, reproductions. "...puts the myths and preconceptions about The Charge of the Light Brigade, Florence Nightingale, the war guilt of Stratford de Redcliffe, the rivalry between Lord Cardigan and Lord Lucan and the patriotic fervour of the English into perspective. Military and naval events are woven into the context of Great Power politics and diplomacy. The Crimean War, often viewed simply as a dramatic incident in the Eastern Questi on, emerges as a decisive campaign which lowered the stature of both defeated Russia and non-belligerent Austria, thereby changing the power structure of Europe...the first comprehensive interpretation of the subject stressing the European an d B a l t i c angles, and so bringing the Crimean War clearly and astutely into focus." Page edges browning lightly. Dust jacket has minor edgewear, light edge wrinkling, light browning to spine. VG/VG
