With an Introduction by Allan Gotlieb.One of Canadas most distinguished diplomats, Charles Ritchie was also a born diarist. Now, for the first time, Ritchies diplomatic diaries are collected in one complete volume, covering his entire career in the Canadian Foreign Service. Ritchie creates a startlingly vivid and perceptive portrait of daily life at the centre of major historical events, including one of the finest accounts of the London Blitz ever writtenthe people in the parks, the shabby streets, the heightened love affairs.
