In La Politique Française en Mer Noire Dr. Faruk Bilici provides a comprehensive analysis of the French policy in and around the Black Sea region during the turbulent years between 1747 and 1789, which led to the French Revolution. Dr. Bilici puts forward with documents the importance of trade and commerce in the Black Sea and how the international relations were shaped by economic and politic aspirations. He moreover puts them in the wider context of Europe and the Middle East to present an excellent picture of this part of the world in one of the most important periods of the European history.
