Old China Hands and the Foreign Office is a book written by Nathan Albert Pelcovits that explores the history of British diplomacy in China during the 20th century. The book focuses on the experiences of a group of British diplomats known as the Old China Hands, who were highly respected for their expertise on China and their ability to navigate the complex political landscape of the country. The author provides an in-depth analysis of the diplomatic strategies employed by these individuals, as well as their interactions with the Chinese government and other foreign powers. The book also sheds light on the larger geopolitical context of British-Chinese relations during this period, including the impact of World War II and the Cold War. Overall, Old China Hands and the Foreign Office offers a fascinating look at the role of diplomacy in shaping the course of history, and provides valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities faced by diplomats in a rapidly changing world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
