Description

Getting Our Way is an insider's account of nine pivotal moments in Britain's diplomatic history over the past five hundred years. Diplomats at the time navigated complex situations, sometimes facing physical danger, to advance their country's interests.

The stories included in this book illustrate how Britain has pursued its national interest through a combination of high principle and low cunning. From triumphs to failures, these episodes highlight the three pillars of British foreign policy: security, prosperity, and values.
