Halfond renders a valuable service by using Paleologue's literary writings to show a character steeped in idealism and overly confident in his own abilities, and then trying to interpret his diplomatic activity through this lens ... By exposing Paleologue's unspoken assumptions, Halfond has shed new light on the odd twists of France's diplomacy through this period.
