Description

The US Consular Representation in Britain Since 1790 by Nicholas M. Keegan explores the history and development of the United States' diplomatic presence in the UK. From its early years, the US Consular Service was marked by instability, with personnel often changing due to political favouritism. However, over time, appointment procedures improved, and inspections were introduced to ensure consuls managed their offices effectively. The service underwent significant changes, including the merger of the Consular Service and Diplomatic Service to form the Foreign Service. This book provides a detailed account of the evolution of US-UK relations through its diplomatic channels, from the first operational consul in Liverpool in 1790 to the current structure of consular representation in the UK.
