The article discusses books and authors. Writer Georges Michon whose book "The Franco-Russian Alliance, 1891-1917," was published in French in 1927, remarks in his introduction that the history of the Franco-Russian alliance "has never been written." Author William L. Langer, who speaks of Michon's book in his bibliography as "the only systematic treatment of the history of the alliance as a whole" also observes in his preface that there has been "no exhaustive treatment" of the subject "to date." In "The Franco-Russian Alliance, 1890-1894," Langer has apparently outstripped his colleague in the use of documentary material, and his account of the formation and early years of the alliance is the more detailed.
