Double-weighted statement
This 440-page book is based on extensive archival research across British and foreign archives. It draws on sociological insights and was more than ten years in the making. It attempts to reconstruct the collective mindset of successive generations of professional diplomats, and the underlying principles, elite perceptions and ‘unspoken assumptions’ that shaped British foreign policy from the death of Palmerston to the outbreak of the First World War. It has been widely and enthusiastically reviewed.
