- catalog abstract ""Sir Eric Phipps was British Ambassador in Berlin (1933-37) and at Paris (1937-39) - two key ambassadorships which spanned the crucial period between Hitler's advent to power and the outbreak of the Second World War. This book explains the striking contrast between his reputation as a staunch anti-Nazi and an 'anti-appeaser' in Berlin, and as a 'defeatist-appeaser' in Paris." "Phipps's recognition of French economic, political and military weakness propelled him into playing a role which French historians have termed that of 'The English Governess' towards the French, pressing them into adopting British policies and interfering in their internal affairs. While this was within the general framework of his instructions from the Foreign Office, he pursued his conception of Chamberlain's appeasement policy with a zeal that seems to have been based on closer contact with the Prime Minister and his entourage rather than with his professional colleagues." "This book is the first major study of Phipps's Paris ambassadorship. It is based on original research in British and French archives, and it sheds new light on the Foreign Office and Anglo-French relations on the eve of the Second World War."--Jacket.".
