Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. Drawing on forgotten records from a tumultuous era in American history, this book sheds new light on the resolution of the Alabama Claims, a long-festering dispute between the United States and Great Britain, stemming from Britain's alleged support of the Confederacy during the Civil War. The author argues that President Ulysses Grant and Secretary of State Hamilton Fish, not Senator Charles Sumner, the issue's most vocal advocate, deserve credit for crafting a solution that averted a potential armed conflict. The book's meticulous research reveals the complex diplomatic maneuvers, personal rivalries, and clashing political agendas that shaped the negotiations, and offers fresh insights into the nature of international relations and the fragility of peace.
