Paris Embassy of Sir Eric Phipps: Anglo-French Relations and Foreign Office, 1937-1939

by John Herman

Sir Eric Phipps was British Ambassador in Berlin (1933-37) and at Paris (1937-39) -- two key ambassadorships which spanned the crucial period between Hitler's advent to power and the outbreak of the Second World War. This book explains the striking contrast between his reputation as a staunch anti-Nazi and an 'anti-appeaser' in Berlin, and as a 'defeatist-appeaser' in Paris.
