William Pitt and the Great War (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

In this 1911 publication, Rose provides a detailed history of the Anglo-French wars that started in 1791. The text remained the standard work on the subject for close to sixty years. In the book, Rose carefully sets forth the disputes with France, the main episodes of the War, and the resulting political consequences. Still an authoritative resource, William Pitt and the Great War is a balanced treatment of this dramatic period in European history.
