Lifting the lid on the making of British foreign policy from Clement Attlee to Margaret Thatcher Bennett reveals each decision in a way that has never been done before: telling the story from the inside out and without hindsight. The result is a book that explains not just why these controversial decisions were taken but one that shows us how history is actually made - and also just how difficult these big decisions really were. Gill Bennett considers exactly what ministers knew at the time; how personal experience relationships past events and prevailing circumstance influenced the decision - making process; and how the balance of history was tipped in each case: by argument moral imperative obligation - or even sheer force of personality.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Six Moments Of Crisis Inside British Foreign Policy\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Bennett Gill (Former Chief Historian Of The Foreign \u0026amp; Commonwealth Office)\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9780199583751\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 240 Pages, 10 Integrated Halftones\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 3\/1\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Warfare \u0026amp; Defence","brand":"Bennett Gill (Former Chief Historian Of The Foreign \u0026 Commonwealth Office)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49593239601457,"sku":"IN-G-9780199583751","price":44.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9780199583751.jpg?v=1753224764","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9780199583751-six-moments-of-crisis-inside-british-foreign-policy","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
