Read Now Download Now ⏭ listen AudioBook
Description:Franois de Callires (1645-1717) is the author of On Negotiating with Sovereigns, an iconic work on diplomacy which has rarely if ever been out of print in English translation since it was first published in 1716. Based largely on previously undiscovered archival materials, this biography traces his long political career., from a first clandestine mission to Poland in 1670 to his advocacy of the the failed Franco-Jacobite invasion of Scotland in 1708. It documents the practice of the historical Callires, in contrast to the high-minded theory of On Negotiating with Sovereigns. Franois de Callires is one of the most important figures in the history of diplomatic thought and Laurence Pope, who is in the first rank of scholar-diplomats, has produced a biography worthy of him. It is impeccably researched, rich in absorbing detail, comprehensive in its account of his subject's activities (literary as well as diplomatic), shrewd in its judgements, and written with considerable verve. I enjoyed it immensely. G.R. Berridge, Emeritus Professor of International Politics, University of Leicester.
