Synopsis
A pointed look at how Britain weighed peace with revolutionary France, and what happens to power when diplomacy clashes with war.
In Burke: Letters on Peace, four letters by E. J. Payne examine Britain's response to the regicide-led French Directory and the difficult choices around alliance, security, and policy.

Présentation de l'éditeur
THE. autumn of 1795 opened a new scene in the great drama. of French affairs. It witnessed the establishment ofthe Directory. Five years had now passed since Burke had published his famous denunciation of the French Revolution; and those five years had witnessed portents and convulsions transcending an living expericncc. The Rcvolution still existed: but, it had passed through strange transformations. The monarchy had perished in attelllpting to compromise with the Revolution. The dethroned King had been tried and executed as a traitor. The Queen and the Princess Elizabeth had met the same fate. The Dauphin, a mere boy, had becn slowly murdered in a prison. The King's brothers, with the remnant of the anti-Revolutionary party, had fled from French soil to spread terror and indignation through Europe.
