Living the Great Illusion - Sir Norman Angell, 1872-1967

Zusatztext This admirable biography has given us the fullest picture we have had of this extraordinary man and probably the fullest we shall ever have. Informationen zum Autor Martin Ceadel is Professor of Politics at the University of Oxford and a Fellow of New College, where he has taught since 1979. His academic interests straddle British politics and international relations. He has been described (in the journal Quaker History) as 'the pre-eminent historian of British peace movements'. His most recent book, Semi-detached Idealists: The British Peace Movement and International Relations, 1854-1945 (OUP, 2000), was (according to the journal Political Studies) 'about as good as the academy gets'. Klappentext The first biography of one of the twentieth century's leading internationalists, Sir Norman Angell, author of The Great Illusion, Labour MP, and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, which reveals that his life has hitherto been much misrepresented and misunderstood. Zusammenfassung The first biography of one of the twentieth century's leading internationalists, Sir Norman Angell, author of The Great Illusion, Labour MP, and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, which reveals that his life has hitherto been much misrepresented and misunderstood.
