Drawing on firsthand experience as one of Britain's most distinguished ambassadors — posted to the Soviet Union, Iraq, Egypt, and Yemen during some of the most volatile decades of the Cold War — Trevelyan chronicles the art of negotiation, the mechanics of statecraft, and the moments of high tension that defined the post-war world order.\n\nWritten with a seasoned diplomat's precision and a gentleman scholar's wit, the memoir presents an insider's portrait of global power politics at its most consequential, illuminating the personalities, pressures, and protocols that shaped British foreign policy from Suez to the withdrawal from Aden. Trevelyan's prose is measured yet compelling, offering rare candour about the limitations of diplomacy as much as its triumphs — leaving the reader to wonder just how differently history might have unfolded had different channels been chosen.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130937516251,"sku":"2026100007190-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/5bc2814b-a6cf-4f28-af1f-30997d109f53.png?v=1786592821","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100007190-secondhand-diplomatic-channels","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
