		The work under review lucidly explains the intricate diplomacy of the Eastern Question from the late eighteenth to the early twentieth centuries, and the primary sources in the documents section illustrate perspectives and issues addressed in the text.
		The "Eastern Question" is the term used in diplomatic and historical writing for the question of the Ottoman Empire's political status and continued viability, a question of no small importance in view of the Empire's strategic position astride the Balkans, Near East, and eastern Mediterranean.
		Any scholar who assumes the challenge of crafting a succinct introduction to the Eastern Question in eighty pages can hardly be expected to master all the available primary and secondary sources, and A. Macfie is to be commended for his adept handling of works on British policy and strategy.

		' Hitherto', writes Henry Craik, ' a great part of the Eastern Question has been the gauging of the ambitions that found in the East and its disturbances a field for their own satisfaction: it suggests a collision of aims, mutual suspicion, rival claims to undertake the task of reform' (Craik, 256.).
