December 1905: Foreign Minister Edward Grey enters into secret
talks with the French about sending British forces to their aid in
the event of a German attack. The details were only revealed to the
Cabinet and Prime Minister in 1911, by which point the 'hidden
perspective' was firmly entrenched, and Britain all but obliged to
stand by France in the event of a war. Yet dissenting voices
remained, and diplomatic missions to Germany were still underway as
late as August 1914. In this scholarly and eloquent work, former
Foreign Secretary David Owen argues that the outbreak of war in
1914 was far from inevitable, instead representing eight years of
failed diplomacy. The importance of transparent government is
particularly relevant in a year in which Sir John Chilcot's Iraq
Inquiry is published.
