{"product_id":"palmerston-and-africa-roderick-braithwaite-9781350183568","title":"Palmerston and Africa: Rio Nunez Affair, Competition, Diplomacy and Justice","description":"This work is based in a time when the British Empire was at its most powerful and self-confident, and Lord Palmerston was at his prime, robust and energetic enough to investigate affairs as apparently minor as that of Rio Nunez. The problem concerned two British traders - Braithwaite and Martin - whose enterprise on the Rio Nunez in West Africa had been attacked by Belgian trading rivals. Palmerston's personal handling of their complaints - in the midst of high affairs of state - is detailed in this account, based on extensive research and new material. It is a portrait of imperial power at its height.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roderick Braithwaite\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350183563\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350183568\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/23\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 370\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.80d","brand":"Roderick Braithwaite","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47200596295935,"sku":"9781350183568","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c1f80806-8c2c-4df6-9fe0-2487f648c871.jpg?v=1756787357","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/palmerston-and-africa-roderick-braithwaite-9781350183568","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
