- Covering seven decades, this book analyses the origins and development of the Anglo-Japanese alliance of 1902, explaining how despite fears of the ‘yellow peril’ Britain agreed to a political compact with Japan. Based on more than a decade of research, it draws on a huge range of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century published and archival sources. While much of the focus is on diplomacy, it also considers cultural and economic factors in order to examine how public opinion shaped foreign policy, as well as the role of royal diplomacy. The book is approximately 110,000 words long.
