The nature of international diplomacy and Britain's world role
changed immeasurably after the end of the First World War, and this
book shows how the various men who headed the Foreign Office during
the interwar years sought to operate in the shifting political and
bureaucratic environments that confronted them. British Foreign
Secretaries in an Uncertain World examines the careers of each of
the interwar Foreign Secretaries, including Lord Curzon, Ramsay
MacDonald and Anthony Eden. Using an extensive range of primary
sources both published and unpublished, official and private,
Michael Hughes provides a detailed assessment of how these men
approached their role and how influential they were in
international diplomacy. The book also looks at the Foreign
Secretaries' successes or failures within the British political
system, analysing how influential the Foreign Office was under each
Secretary in determining British foreign policy. A fascinating book
with a unique focus, British Foreign Secretaries in an Uncertain
World takes a rigorous look at a key topic in British history.
