Servants of Diplomacy offers a bottom-up history of the
19th-century Foreign Office and in doing so, provides a
ground-breaking study of modern British diplomacy. Whilst current
literature focuses on the higher echelons of the Office, Keith
Hamilton sheds a new light on the administrative and social history
of Whitehall which have, until now, been largely ignored.
Hamilton's examination of the roles and actions of the Foreign
Office's domestic staff is exhaustive, with close attention paid
to: the keepers of the office, keepers of the papers, the carriers
of the papers and the efforts made to adapt to growing
technological changes. Hamilton's exhaustive analysis also focuses
on the reforms of 1905-06 and the Queen's Messengers during
wartime. Drawing extensively from Foreign Office and Treasury
archives and private manuscript collections, this is essential
reading for anyone with an interest of British diplomatic history.
