Excerpt from Diplomatic Days I saw as in a glass darkly dim forms whose outlines I could not distinguish, and I heard as from a distance the confused cries of a people about to undergo a supreme national crisis, where the greatest delicacy and reserve were necessary on the part of the neighboring nations.

A Diplomatic Diary, 1917 (Classic Reprint)
Author: Hugh GibsonPublisher:
ISBN: 9781331047872
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
Excerpt from A Diplomatic Diary, 1917 This volume is not a carefully prepared treatise on the war. It does not set out to prove anything. It is merely what its title indicates - a private journal jotted down hastily from day to day in odd moments, when more pressing duties would permit. Much material has been eliminated as of little interest. Other material of interest has been left out because it cannot be published at this time. It is believed, however, that what is printed here will suffice to give some idea of life in Belgium during the first few months of the war. I have eliminated from the journal most of the matter about the early history of the Commission for Relief in Belgium. My day-to-day record did not do any sort of justice to the subject, and since it was not adequate, I have preferred to eliminate all but such casual reference to the relief work as is necessary to maintain the narrative. I am reconciled to this treatment of the subject by the knowledge that the story will be told comprehensively and well by Dr. Vernon Kellogg, who will soon publish an authoritative history of the Commissions work. As former Director of the Commission in Belgium, he has the detailed knowledge of its workings and the sympathetic understanding of its purpose which peculiarly fit him for the task. The work of the Commission is of a scope and significance that few of us realise. It is without doubt the greatest humanitarian enterprise in history, conducted under conditions of almost incredible difficulty.

Book Description
Excerpt from Secret History of to-Day: Being Revelations of a Diplomatic Spy In these reminiscences it is my object to recount some of the services I have rendered to civilisation in the course of my career, While abstaining as far as possible from compromising exalted individuals or embittering international relations. That I am not a man who opens his mouth rashly may be gathered from the fact that, although at any time during the long struggle between Briton and Boer for the mastery in South Africa, I might have completely changed the situation with a word, that word was not uttered while a single Boer remained under arms. In order to explain how I came to be concerned in this affair, I had better begin by giving a few particulars about myself, and the almost unique position which I hold among the secret service bureaus of Europe and America.

The Diplomacy of the Great War (Classic Reprint)
Author: Arthur BullardPublisher: Forgotten Books
ISBN: 9780666572615
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 378
Book Description
Excerpt from The Diplomacy of the Great War The object of this book is limited. It has the same rela tion to a treatise on diplomacy that a high school algebra has to a text-book in celestial mechanics. Very little has been written in America on European diplomacy. We have not been interested in the subject. Suddenly the roar of cannon has broken in on our ordinary life and month by month as the War drags on the vital necessity of knowing more about Europe becomes apparent. Many people ask: What is it all about? The more determined ask: Where can we find out about it? In our larger public libraries there is a great deal of material, but interest in such matters had been so slight that this material was not fully catalogued. What the libraries have to offer in our own language is mostly from English sources and as Great Britain is a party to the dispute it is unadvisable to hear only one side.

A Diplomat's Wife in Mexico (Classic Reprint)

Book Description
Excerpt from A Diplomat's Wife in Mexico The time has not yet come for a full history of the events leading to the breaking off of diplomatic rela tions, but after much pondering I have decided to pub lish these letters. They were written to my mother, day by day, after a habit of long years, to console both her and me for separation, and without any thought of publication. In spite of necessary omissions they may throw some light on the difficulties of the Mexican situ ation, which we have made our own, and which every American wishes to see solved in a way that will testify to the persistence of those qualities that made us great.
