An urgent, historically grounded letter on England’s role in a dangerous global crisis. This nonfiction work presents Alfred Austin’s ardent appeal to the Earl of Beaconsfield, arguing that Britain must clearly define its foreign policy to protect the empire’s future. The text blends critique, historical context, and a call for decisive action.

In these pages, the author analyzes Russia’s ambitions in Asia, the fate of the Ottoman Empire, and the possible consequences for Britain. Written in a period of great tension, the work urges candor about the risks and outlines the kinds of warnings and measures a prudent government should consider.


  • Clear assessment of Britain’s strategic position in Asia Minor and the Eastern Question

  • Arguments for transparent leadership and timely policy announcements
