ANGLO-RUSSIAN DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS 1907-1914 THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University In
%41o ANGLO-RUSSIAN DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS 1907-1914 THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSPHY By Rosemary C. Tompkins, B.F.A., B.A., M.A. Denton, Texas May, 1975 1975 ROSEMARY COLBOPN TOMWKINS ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Tompkins, Rosemary C., Anglo-Russian Diplomatic Relations, 1907-1914. Doctor of Philosophy (European History), May, 1975, 388 pp., 1 map, bibliography, 370 titles. No one has investigated in detail the totality of Anglo-Russian relations from the Anglo-Russian Convention of 1907 to the outbreak of World War I. Those who have written on the history of the Triple Entente have tended to claim that France was the dominant partner and that her efforts pulled Great Britain and Russia together and kept them together. Britain and Russia had little in common, the standard argument asserts; their ideological and political views were almost diametrically opposed, and furthermore,they had major imperial conflicts. This dissertation tests two hypotheses. The first is that Russia and Britain were drawn together less from French efforts than from a mutual reaction to German policy. The second is that there was less political and ideological friction between Britain and Russia than previous writers have assumed. The first hypothesis has been supported in previous writings only tangentially, while the second has not been tested for the period under review. Studies of the period have been detailed studies on specific events and crises, while this investigation reviews the course of the Anglo- Russian partnership for the entire seven year period.

Evelyn Waugh Has Described His Travel Books As a "Record of Certain
CHAPTER - 2 MAN REDUCED TO A HANDFUL OF DUST Evelyn Waugh has described his travel books as a "record of certain Journeys, chosen for no better reason than that I needed noney at the tine of their conpletion" (7). This nay have been true of his Journeys to Ethiopia in 1930 and in 1935,or of yet another journey to Africa nuch later in 1959, but the same cannot be said of his journey to British Guiana and parts of Brazil in the winter of 1932. Actually, there is no evidence in Waugh's diaries or letters to explain why he decided to visit South America rather than any other place. Christopher Sykes, Waugh's friend and biographer, has noted that "an acute critic of Evelyn Waugh's work has suggested... a religious reason" (Sykes 182) — that Waugh wanted to see how Christianity had grown in remote places-- theological and ecclesiastical matters having been his interests since childhood, as is evident from a reading of his autobiography. Michael Davie, the editor of Waugh's diaries, suggests, on the other hand, that the journey "contains a hint of penance," and adds that "Waugh in the South American jungle inflicted discomfort and tedium upon himself in a way that was not normally part of his character" (Diaries 354). Davie has based his deduction on a diary entry of 4 December 1932, written while Waugh was en route to Georgetown, the capital of British Guiana. It is a brief three - word entry — "Heart of lead" (Diaries 356) — which speaks of his state of mind at that time.

Of 29 Peter Fleming Collection MS 1391 Peter
University Museums and Special Collections Service Peter Fleming Collection MS 1391 Peter Fleming was born in 1907. His father, Valentine Fleming, a barrister, was MP for Henley 1910-1917 and was killed in action in 1917. Peter’s brother Ian, the creator of James Bond, was born in 1908. Educated at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford, Peter Fleming became literary editor of The Spectator and travelled widely, chiefly as Special Correspondent for The Times, for which he also wrote many Fourth Leaders during the later 1930s. He published popular travel books during this period, including Brazilian Adventure (1933), One’s Company: a journey to China (1934) and News from Tartary (1936P. In 1935 he married actress Celia Johnson. In 1939 he joined the Grenadier Guards, serving in Norway in 1940, in Greece in 1941 and subsequently in Burma, ending the war as head of strategic deception in South East Asia Command. In 1945 he received the OBE. After the war he retired to Merrimoles, his estate at Nettlebed in the Chilterns, to lead the life of a literary squire. He wrote pieces for the Times and The Spectator, the latter under the pseudonym Strix. He also published four books recounting historical episodes, including an account of the threatened invasion of Britain in 1940, the Younghusband expedition to Lhasa, the siege of Peking during the Boxer rebellion, and a study of White Russian leader Admiral Kolchak. Peter Fleming died in August 1971, while on a shooting expedition to Scotland. From 1947 onwards he was a member of the Court and Council of The University of Reading, and he served as one of the Curators of the University Library from 1967.

U3a Historical Walks Nettlebed
U3A HISTORICAL WALKS NETTLEBED Start by the large square bus shelter in Nettlebed (GR702868) just off the A4130 road from Henley on Thames to Wallingford and Oxford. There is adequate parKing round The Green. Distance, about 4 miles, easy going. 1) By the bus shelter, note the board giving information about the Pudding Stones which are a geological feature. Then look behind at the restored late 17th century estate brick kiln, a reminder of the brick making industry that once flourished in Nettlebed. There is a very interesting information board. As you go through the village note the grey and silver bricks used everywhere; they are very hard, and the colour is due to the type of clay that covers the common. Nettlebed and its commons are a conservation area managed by the Nettlebed and District Commons Conservators. Now go along the minor road (called The Green) with houses on the left and The Green on the right. On reaching a junction with a grass triangle, turn sharp right at the sign to CrocKer End and Magpies. 2) Very soon turn sharp left on to track called “Catslip”. (Catslip = possibly, home of wild cats, slipe = Old English, muddy or slimy). There is also a “Catteslip House”. This was originally part of the Roman Road from Dorchester to London. You pass some attractive dwellings on the left in Arts and Crafts style. These were built for the workers at Joyce Grove (the local mansion). One of them is called Laundry Cottage and apparently was a Chinese laundry 3) Take a little narrow lane off to the left.

The Wartime Adventures of Peter Fleming by Alan Ogden
2020-109 18 Dec. 2020 Master of Deception: The Wartime Adventures of Peter Fleming by Alan Ogden . New York: Bloomsbury, 2019. Pp. xii, 322. ISBN 978–1–78831–509–8. Review by Mark David Kaufman, US Air Force Academy ([email protected]). In his early but authoritative history of the British Special Operations Executive (SOE) during the Second World War, M.R.D. Foot notes the difficulty of researching and writing about how the organization waged its war of deception against the Axis powers: “Unhappily for the historian, deception was plunged in the deepest secrecy at the time, and has not been much illuminated by later disclosures. The whole subject is tricky and slippery, and is currently wrapped in a particu- larly dense cloud of secrecy.”1 Thirty-four years on, former infantry officer and archivist of the Grenadier Guards Alan Ogden has made a significant scholarly (yet lively) contribution to that arcane field of study with Master of Deception , an in-depth look at SOE subterfuge through the career of one of its most skillful practitioners, Peter Fleming.2 In the course of Ogden’s study, which draws liberally from declassified documents, Fleming emerges as something close to a real- life 007, but one more authentic, fallible, and beleaguered by bureaucracy than his more famous brother’s freewheeling creation. Unlike Duff Hart-Davis’s treatment of Fleming,3 Ogden’s book is more a history of one man’s work for British special forces over a seven-year period. From 1939 to 1946, Fleming conceived and orchestrated a range of military and counterintelligence operations first against Nazi Germany and then Imperial Japan.
