George William Buchanan - Memoirs of a diplomat 1876-1922. Gift book bound in leather.

The memoirs of the English diplomat George Buchanan, who was the British ambassador to Russia in 1910-1918, are of undoubted historical interest.

The book recreates the picture of pre-war and military tsarist Russia, the February and October revolutions. Russian Russian-Austrian diplomatic struggle in the Balkans, the formation of two hostile camps in Europe on the eve of the First World War, as well as Anglo-Russian relations in connection with the World War are covered in the most detail by the author. Although a significant place in the book is occupied by the description of diplomatic receptions, balls, meetings at the royal court.
