Christopher Meyer was Ambassador to the United States from 1997 to 2003, during which time he was an eyewitness to and participant in the events following 9/11 and the preparations for the iraq war. Never before has there been such a riviting and candid memoir of life behind the diplomatic scenes. Meyer's is a very personal chronicle of what he saw, what he heard and how he felt. The cast list of characters who feature here includes Margaret Tatcher, Bo Hope, the Clintons, Steven Spielberg, Conoleeza Rice, Alastair Campbell, Jack Straw and, of course, Catherine Meyer, whose role as wife was often just as demanding. The book reveals close encounters with Tony Blair, Robin Cook and Peter Madelson' KGB honey traps in Russia; a major row with Bill Clinton; inside stories on Number 10 and the Foreign Office; and of course life behind the scenes with Blair and George W. Bush. it was clear that the Prime Minister's office and not the Foreign Office would control relations with Washington, and Meyer shows in close-up how he helped facilitate the 'special relationship'. For anyone whose definition of a diplomat is someone sent abroad to lie for their country, Christopher Meyer's memoir is the perfect rejoinder. It will also be hailed as one of the most important political memoirs of the decade.Illustrated. 301 pp.(We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.), Books<
