内容説明

This biography is a study of Lord Oliver Franks, a leading 20th-century British statesman. Lord Franks is an exceedingly deliberate man who, paradoxically, embarked upon his various careers - as don, mandarin, diplomat, banker, provost, pillar of state - almost by accident. A moral philosopher by training and inclination, Franks had a hand in the making of both war and peace in the middle decades of the 20th century. He secured Marshall Plan aid for Europe's post-war recovery programme. He had a major role in negotiating the North Atlantic Treaty. Later, he was responsible for several unusually influential official reports, including that on Oxford University in the 1960s, and, most recently and controversially, on the British government's handling of the Falklands crisis. Other books by Danchev include "A Very Special Relationship", "Establishing the Anglo-American Alliance" and "International Perspectives on the Falklands Conflict".
