Recenzii
This is an example of one of the best kinds of historical writing: an exhaustively researched and crisply written case study designed to examine general propositions, here those concerning chiefly the role of the embassy in modern diplomacy. In the process, Professor Young has not only scotched many myths but also produced a genuinely interesting book on Anglo-American relations, itself quite an achievement. I found it compulsive reading.
John Young's David Bruce and Diplomatic Practice provides a rare glimpse into the workings of one of the most important and influential American embassies in Western Europe during the height of the Cold War. Bruce was one of the most experienced and respected American diplomats of the postwar era, and his long tenure in London affords Young the opportunity to go beyond the headline issues of the day to examine the routines, practices, and personalities which shaped the 'special relationship' during the tumultuous 1960s. This is a truly unique study of modern diplomacy and a very significant contribution to our understanding of international relations in the 20th century.
Young's fascinating study of the tenure of David Bruce as U.S. Ambassador in London sheds new light on the changing role of ambassadors and on diplomatic relations between Britain and the United States during a crucial decade of transition. Drawing on a wide range of sources including Bruce´s own diary, Young paints a picture of the life of an ambassador which is vivid, engaging, illuminating and informative. All scholars of contemporary diplomatic practice, international history and British and American foreign policy will profit from reading this valuable work.
A fascinating account of the London tenure of US ambassador David Bruce, one of the leading diplomats of the 20th century. John Young writes with verve, precision, and profound insight into the workings of modern diplomacy. A book that helps us understand why diplomacy is important and why some diplomats are far more successful than others.
Focusing on the daily business of the American Embassy in London and the work and life of Ambassador David Bruce, John Young has painted a subtle yet vivid and complex picture of Anglo-American relations during the 1960s, revealing the depth and difficulties of relations between the two countries.
John Young's excellent new book brings a fresh perspective to the Anglo-American relationship. It skilfully charts the work of David Bruce as the United States Ambassador to Britain; and it explores the multifarious operations of the American Embassy in London that he presided over in the 1960s. It captures the wide range of activities expected of a modern head of mission and provides insights into the contribution of America's most distinguished postwar ambassador. This study offers a compelling analysis of David Bruce's key role in facilitating effective Anglo-American relations in a time of difficult changes in Britain's place in the world.
David Bruce, millionaire diplomat, was a towering figure in twentieth-century US foreign relations. He was also Ambassador to London during the Sixties, one of the most dramatic and significant periods in the history of the United States, the United Kingdom, and the special relationship. In this excellent, innovative and fascinating book, John Young explains how a seasoned ambassador ran every aspect of his Embassy and how diplomacy actually worked.
