This is famous British author Nesta Webster's last-and most suppressed-book, published just prior to the outbreak of the Second World War. Originally published as Germany and England, this book deviated completely from the themes of Webster's earlier works, and dealt exclusively with what she said was the international Jewish lobby's preparations to start another war in Europe. Plans for this war, she wrote, were not based on Germany's justifiable actions to recover from the inequities of the Treaty of Versailles, but only because Hitler's Germany had removed the Jews from all positions of influence in that country. Webster discusses in detail the UK government's hypocrisy in dealing with Germany-for example, by gunning down Arabs in British Mandated Palestine protesting against the Zionist ethnic cleansing underway there-while at the same time demanding that Germany not react with force at injustices committed upon Germans. Other topics covered in this volume include the truth behind the "Czechoslovakia Crisis," the USSR's plans to spread Communism in Europe, the differences between Bolshevism and Fascism, and the deliberate lies being spread about Hitler and Germany by the British press in their desire to incite a war. "Can it be mere coincidence that all those countries we are now taught to hate are those which have shown the strongest opposition to Bolshevism? . . . It does not matter with which of the Fascist States the quarrel is begun, the rest will come in with it and the war will indeed become world wide." This new edition has been taken directly from an original copy, and contains the complete text and all four appendices. It also includes 55 new footnotes which explain events and personalities referred to in the body of the text.

This book explores the emergence of the nationally diverging paths taken by England and Germany in relation to the legal concept of self-defence. It explores how various theories of legitimate resistance to authority were developed and how they came to influence one another. In particular it is argued that German theories played a much greater role than has hitherto been acknowledged in influencing English concepts of 'natural rights' as discussed by such men as Parker and Locke.

In The Europe Illusion, Stuart Sweeney considers Britain’s relationships with France and Prussia-Germany since the map of Europe was redrawn at Westphalia in 1648. A timely and far-sighted study, it argues that integration in Europe has evolved through diplomatic, economic, and cultural links cemented among these three states. Indeed, as wars became more destructive and economic expectations were elevated these states struggled to survive alone. Yet it has been rare for all three to be friends at the same time. Instead, apparent setbacks like Brexit can be seen as reflective of a more pragmatic Europe, where integration proceeds within variable geometry.

Throughout the second half of the 20th century, fundamental differences in values and policy can be discerned in British-German relations. For historical, political, and economic reasons, the collective memories of both nations have retained very different identities and attitudes towards each other and towards the European continent and European integration. Yet, Britain is one of the most significant European partners for Germany and Germany is of great importance for Britains role in Europe. This book focuses on the influence of European integration on the policies of Britain and Germany towards each other. It considers British-German relations in the context of European integration in their historical dimensions since 1945. Britains ambiguous policy towards the GDR and Mrs Thatchers opposition to German unification are also discussed. In particular, the book focuses on the post-1990 relationship and examines the political, security related, economic and financial as well as the social aspects of the dynamic British-German relations in an ever more interdependent world. The influence of the US and France on both Germany and Britain and their European policies is therefore considered in detail. This book offers interesting and challenging insights into the evolution of British-German relations within the context of European integration in the post-Second World War and post-Unification era. The book argues that throughout the latter half of the twentieth century Britain and Germany can be characterised as uneasy allies. It is only since the late 1990s Britain and Germany appear to have become genuine partners in the context of European integration.
