If difficult ally and was on hand for the Peace conferences. There are excerpts from his dispatches, from the author's own reports as correspondent for The Times, there are the various missions and their heads -- Balfour, Northcliffe and others;- there are the obstacles to coordination in the war effort. An informative addendum to the behind the scenes World War I diplomatic story, this will be absorbing reading for the close follower of recent history.
