Peace makers : shaping the modern world : the men and women of the Foreign Office in WWII
Ricketts, Peter, 1952-2026
Books
From the rooftops of Whitehall during the Blitz to embassies under siege across Europe and Asia, diplomats and their families demonstrated extraordinary resilience and ingenuity during World War II. They evacuated civilians, backed resistance networks, gathered intelligence and waged battles of persuasion. Some endured years apart from home; others, like staff in Tokyo, survived internment. While military exploits and Churchill's leadership dominate history books, 'Peace Makers' reveals how the men and women of the Foreign Office forged alliances, supported resistance movements, managed refugee crises and laid the groundwork for the post-war international order.
