East European Monographs CCVII, Boulder. Distributed by Columbia UP, NY, 1986. Hard Cover. 101 p., [30] p. of plates, illus., facsims.; 23 cm. 'The recent identification of an English version of the tsar's speech… corroborates most of [Loewenson's] findings and even allows us a fuller understanding of the two monarchs' first meetings on Dutch soil. After a critical scrutiny of the newly found text, this study will examine the broader military-political and economic background of the Utrecht encounter, turning subsequently to its implications in Central Europe and indeed in the global alliance systems existing in the clair-obscur of the transition from one general European conflagration to two major military conflicts, fought for the Spanish succession and for supremacy in Northern and Eastern Europe, respectively.'
