British Embassies: Their Diplomatic and Architectural History

Description:

Condition: BRAND NEW
Format: Hardcover

British Embassies have a special role in our history. They represent our country in bricks and stone and have often expressed at least in the eyes of foreigners our national character. Whether they are Lutyens buildings in Washington, grand palaces in Europe, beautiful old colonial buildings in Asia, or secure compounds in the Middle East, they all have stories to tell and reveal the changing face of British diplomacy.
