In this examination of Union and Confederate foreign relations during the Civil War from both European and American perspectives, Howard Jones demonstrates that the consequences of the conflict between North and South reached far beyond American soil. Jones highlights the mixture of reasons for European interest in the war, which ranged from self-interest to fear that an intervention would cause war with the Union. Most of all, he explores the horrible nature of a war that attracted outside involvement as much as it repelled it. Written in a narrative style that relates the story as its participants saw it play out around them, Blue and Gray diplomacy depicts the complex set of problems fared by policymakers from Richmond and Washington to London, Paris, and St. Petersburg.
