A. L. Kennedy, the son of a British diplomat, began a long career
in journalism with The Times before the First World War. When he
returned to the newspaper in 1919 - as Captain Kennedy - he began
to keep a journal of his activities and ideas, his conversations
with politicians, officials and journalists. This book is an edited
and annotated selection from his journals between 1932 and 1939,
during which period he served as The Times' assistant foreign
editor and in which capacity he was responsible for most of the
leading articles on foreign affairs. His journals provide a
fascinating insight into the complicated relationship between The
Times and the government: intriguing to read, they are an extremely
valuable source for historians of diplomacy politics and journalism
in Britain between the wars and help to illuminate our
understanding of 'appeasement'.
