Over the last five hundred years, Britain's power has waxed & waned: from the puny island nation of the sixteenth century, to the global superpower of the nineteenth century, to the more modest post-imperial status today of a major European power. But in these radically different circumstances, the wisdom of Lord Palmerston's observation has endured. Getting Our Way recounts nine stories from Britain's diplomatic annals over the last five hundred years, in which the diplomats themselves are at the centre of the narrative. It is an inside account of their extraordinary experiences, sometimes in the face of physical danger, often at history's hinge. Be it Henry Killigrew's mission to Edinburgh in 1572, Castlereagh at the Congress of Vienna, Our Man in Washington & the Nassau Deal, or the handover of Hong Kong to China, we can see how Britain has viewed its interests in the world & sought to advance them. Some of these dramatic episodes record triumph, some failure, but all of them illustrate how the three pillars of the national interest
- security, prosperity & values
- have been the foundation of British foreign policy for half a century. Each story is illuminated by colourful anecdotes & insights drawn from Christopher Meyer's first-hand experience of international relations. Moreover, the book is a salutary reminder that foreign policy (what is to be done) & diplomacy (how it is to be done) begin & end with the national interest. & far from being the preserve of aloof aristocrats, the pursuit of our national interest is replete with intrigue, treachery, espionage, & danger
- an extraordinary combination of high principle & low cunning, vice & virtue, all with the specific aim of 'getting our way'.
