Of all the British \"amateur ambassadors\" none was more distinguished than Philip Kerr, 11th Marquis of Lothian (1882-1940). His tenure of office was brief -- Aug. 1939 to Dec. 1940 -- but it coincided with a crucial period in British \u0026amp; U.S. history. Recently-opened archives enable one to fill in some important gaps in the history of his life \u0026amp; achievements \u0026amp; to set Lothian's work in the context of British \u0026amp; U.S. policy-making. This book will shows the strengths \u0026amp; weaknesses of a non-career diplomat. In the end, the successes outweighed the failures, as is shown by examining Lothian's role as intermediary between Churchill \u0026amp; Roosevelt in the two episodes in Anglo-Amer. diplomacy during 1940, the Destroyers-for-Bases Deal \u0026amp; the origins of Lend-Lease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 65\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.25 x 10 x 7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 01, 1983\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53248905249075,"sku":"9781422374641","price":61.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/K1AhbHY1Ho9781422374641.webp?v=1776317299","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/lord-lothian-and-anglo-american-relations-1939-1940-transactions-american-philosophical-society-vol-73-part-2-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
