Dr Ridley's work is a fascinating study in the history of diplomacy, an essential though often invisible profession, whose highly skilled practitioners do far more than is generally recognised. Over half a millennium the remit of diplomacy has evolved to embrace international conflict-resolution in addition to its original task of furthering the interests of a particular nation. A must-read. Professor Patrick Sookhdeo PhD, DD, Faculty of Theology and Religion, University of Pretoria, South Africa Stimulating, interpretative and informative on diplomacy over five centuries tracing diplomacy - and diplomats' - in conflict resolution. Essential reading for students and practitioners of international history, ,international affairs and international security. Professor Dan Silverstone, Head of Law and Criminology, University of Greenwich, UK
