Description
As Foreign Editor of The Times of London from 1899 until 1912, Valentine Chirol played a singular part in alerting people to the dangers facing them as war clouds gathered over a fast modernizing world. He analyzed wars from South Africa to the Balkans, and political eruptions from Peking to Constantinople. In this wide-ranging biography, Linda Fritzinger paints a skilful portrait of a man at the centre of the greatest events of his period. Including new sources and extracts from Chirol's writing, Diplomat without Portfolio is an accessible entry-point to an engaging vista of world history at the turn of the century.
