All three parts of the book hold to a single theme - the decay of diplomatic method. In the incisive prose characteristic of all Eayrs' writing, these discourses present a convincing view of the tragi-comedy of foreign affairs. The general reader and the student of politics and international affairs will find this a perceptive analysis of statecraft, full of insights into the workings of government. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJames Eayrs\u003c\/b\u003e is a former professor in the Department of Political Economy at the University of Toronto and a professor emeritus at Dalhousie University.
