Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Good. 1st Edition. FIRST EDITION. A candid insider account of the diplomatic culture that failed to prevent the crises of 1914 and the renewed disasters of the 1930s. Major-General Arthur Cecil Temperley held senior positions in the War Office before retiring from the military and becoming military correspondent for the Daily Telegraph in 1935. The book blends political analysis with sharply etched portraits of the individuals, including ambassadors, generals, intermediaries, and unofficial envoys, who operated behind the formal machinery of statecraft.
