Synopsis
As Foreign Editor of The Times of London from 1899 until 1912, Valentine Chirol played a singular part in alerting people to the dangers facing them as war clouds gathered over a fast modernizing world. He analyzed wars from South Africa to the Balkans, and political eruptions from Peking to Constantinople. In this wide-ranging biography, Linda Fritzinger paints a skilful portrait of a man at the centre of the greatest events of his period. Including new sources and extracts from Chirol's writing, Diplomat without Portfolio is an accessible entry-point to an engaging vista of world history at the turn of the century.

Review
""Linda B. Fritzinger navigates her way confidently and skilfully through the shoals of complex, sometimes contradictory, evidence that her heroic researches over many years have exposed . . . Linda Fritzinger is a sympathetic but not partisan biographer. With great narrative verve and skill she has provided a fascinating portrait of a strange, vulnerable, mysterious man - diplomat, linguist and extremely gifted journalist."" --Times Literary Supplement
