Text complete, clean and tight. . | Dust Wrapper over Red boards with Gilt titling to the Spine. 8½" x 5½". 240pp. Index. Bibliography. Cover art by Craig Dodd. | First Edition (First Printing).From the cover: “It has been obvious for some time that Britain's influence in the world is waning, that the voice that once commanded attention is but a whisper of its former self. Why? How?Geoffrey McDermott, former Foreign Office Minister with Ambassadorial status, has written an authoritative and provocative answer to these questions; authoritative, because in his twenty-seven years at the Foreign Office he was in a unique position to study and assess British foreign policy and those who devised it; provocative, because Mr McDermott pins the responsibility for the decline of British diplomacy squarely on the lapels of the Earl of Avon, who, as Anthony, later Sir Anthony, Eden, was three times British Foreign Minister and once Prime Minister in a span of twenty years.The author catalogues the major disasters in the last thirty years of British foreign policy - and dismal reading they make - and concludes that, although they are not all directly attributable to Eden, he must carry the burden of the responsibility. `From the mid-twenties to the mid-fifties,' Mr McDermott records, `Eden more or less personified British diplomacy which was, and still is, carried on in the polite, tidy, euphoric manner which was considered de rigueur under his dispensation'.As well as a penetrating assessment of Eden, there are revealing glimpses of Vansittart, Churchill, Dulles, Eisenhower, Khrushchev and Makarios, among many. Mr McDermott also plots the fascinating manceuvrings at international situations such as Munich, Yalta, the Egyptian coup that removed Farouk, Suez (the author was one of only three diplomats in on the planning of this operation and makes some scathing charges against his superiors), Cyprus (where he was leader of the British negotiating team) and Berlin, where he was Minister with Ambassadorial status at the time of the building of the Wall, an assignment that led to his `retirement' from the diplomatic service.This is an important work, one that demands to be read by those in a position to use - or abuse - power. It is time, surely, that people and governments learned something from history.ö.
