One of the free to read articles from the latest edition of History Today (UK) is John Bew's text on the British politician and diplomat, Robert Stewart, Viscount Castlereagh, whose decisions and enterprise as Secretary of State for War and the Colonies and Minister for Foreign Affairs during the early nineteenth century were key to the continued war effort in Britain's struggle with Napoleon and France. The November 2011 printed edition also features a short article on John Bright, liberal politician and leading radical during the Victorian period, which can be found in Richard Cavendish's Months Past section.
