Brian Jenkins is emeritus professor of history at Bishop's University and the author of numerous books, including The Fenian Problem: Insurgency and Terrorism in a Liberal State, 1858-1874.
"Seamlessly woven from innumerable narrative threads, Lord Lyons is a vivid tapestry that brings the international history of the nineteenth century magnificently to life. Jenkins has risen brilliantly to the challenge of conveying both the specifics of diplomacy and the dramatic stage - replete with countless fascinating actors - on which it played." Martin Crawford, emeritus professor of Anglo-American history, Keele University "Jenkins has provided a meticulously researched, full-scale biography of Lord Lyons, one of Britain's most important diplomats of the Victorian period." Muriel E. Chamberlain, Department of History, Swansea University " ... Jenkins's exhaustive work with primary sources makes this the fullest and most reliable discussion of Lyons's public and private lives yet published. It is a welcome addition to the field."
