Diplomacy Revealed (1921)

By E.D. Morel

Book Overview

Diplomacy Revealed is a book written by E. D. Morel and published in 1921. The book is a critical analysis of the diplomatic practices and policies of European nations during the early 20th century. Morel, a British journalist and politician, was a prominent critic of colonialism and imperialism, and his book reflects his views on the role of diplomacy in perpetuating these practices.The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides an overview of the history of European diplomacy, including the rise of the nation-state system and the development of diplomatic practices such as alliances, treaties, and secret negotiations. Morel argues that these practices often serve the interests of powerful nations at the expense of weaker ones, and that they have contributed to the instability and conflict that characterized European politics during the period.The second part of the book focuses on specific examples of diplomatic failures and abuses. Morel discusses the role of diplomacy in the outbreak of World War I, the exploitation of African colonies by European powers, and the suppression of nationalist movements in India and Ireland. He also critiques the actions of individual diplomats and politicians, such as the British Foreign Secretary Lord Grey and the German Chancellor Bethmann-Hollweg.Throughout the book, Morel advocates for a more transparent and ethical approach to diplomacy, one that prioritizes the interests of all nations and peoples. He argues that diplomacy should be conducted in the open, with public scrutiny and accountability, and that the principles of justice and fairness should guide all diplomatic decisions.Overall, Diplomacy Revealed is a powerful critique of the diplomatic practices of the early 20th century, and a call for a more just and equitable approach to international relations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
