Charles James Cooke
The Russia’s Hope: Or Britannia No Longer Rules The Waves is a historical book written by Charles James Cooke in 1888. The book is a detailed account of the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-1878, which was fought between the Russian Empire and the Ottoman Empire. The author narrates the events leading up to the war and the various battles fought during the conflict.Cooke provides a comprehensive analysis of the war and its impact on the world order, particularly on the balance of power in Europe. He argues that the war marked a turning point in European history, as it signaled the decline of British naval dominance and the rise of Russian power.The book’s title, The Russia’s Hope, alludes to the fact that many Europeans saw Russia as a rising power that could challenge the dominance of the British Empire. Cooke’s work explores this idea in depth, examining the political and military factors that contributed to Russia’s growing influence in the region.Overall, The Russia’s Hope is a valuable historical document that provides insights into the complex political and military dynamics of the late 19th century.
