His incisive critiques of the moral turpitude and inefficiency of the diplomatic profession in \u003cem\u003eRight and Wrong in Foreign Policy\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eFate and Will in Foreign Policy\u003c\/em\u003e provoked unflattering attention and attempts at rebuttal by the statesmen and politicians who shape our foreign policy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume makes these two controversial studies available once more, bringing them up to date with discussions of the 'October crisis' in Quebec and other recent events, and incorporating the author's selection of his recent writings on the irrelevance, or deliquescence, of modern diplomacy. All three parts of the book hold to a single theme - the decay of diplomatic method. In the incisive prose characteristic of all Eayrs' writing, these discourses present a convincing view of the tragi-comedy of foreign affairs. The general reader and the student of politics and international affairs will find this a perceptive analysis of statecraft, full of insights into the workings of government. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Eayrs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802061214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802061218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/1971\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.49d","brand":"James Eayrs","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120236589311,"sku":"9780802061218","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5c306cb6-9e39-4841-9f34-9181423dedee.jpg?v=1687413234","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/diplomacy-and-its-discontents-james-eayrs-9780802061218","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
