{"product_id":"9781350183568","title":"Palmerston and Africa : Rio Nunez Affair, Competition, Diplomacy and Justice","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis work is based in a time when the British Empire was at its most powerful and self-confident, and Lord Palmerston was at his prime, robust and energetic enough to investigate affairs as apparently minor as that of Rio Nunez. The problem concerned two British traders - Braithwaite and Martin - whose enterprise on the Rio Nunez in West Africa had been attacked by Belgian trading rivals. Palmerston's personal handling of their complaints - in the midst of high affairs of state - is detailed in this account, based on extensive research and new material. It is a portrait of imperial power at its height.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46135249666127,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":1573.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/products\/9781350183568","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
