Home and Abroad

Lord Strang, formerly Permanent Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, offers in these reflective memoirs first "a rapid conspectus of my period of service" and then a series of essays treating "some of the more important of the international negotiations and diplomatic situations in which I have been personally concerned." These include the Moscow trial of British engineers, the Munich crisis, the Moscow negotiations of 1939, and the work of the European Advisory Commission.
