His career was unusual for a Foreign Office official, in that such a large part of it took place in Washington and London, and was centered on Anglo-American relationships. This book describes his life, times and the important players he dealt with on both sides of the Atlantic. It sheds light on how the 'special relationship' between Britain and America developed, and shows how great an impact a civil servant can have on policy.AmbassadorsGreat BritainBiographyGreat BritainForeign relations1945-Great BritainForeign relationsUnited StatesUnited StatesForeign relationsGreat BritainAmbassadors327.41073092Wevill Richard478762MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910828646603321Diplomacy, Roger Makins and the Anglo-American relationship3958893UNINA
