5.0 out of 5 stars
Best book on Denmark's foreign policy in 20th century,
By "henrik123" (Paris, France) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Defiant Diplomacy (Studies in Modern European History) (Hardcover)
Bo Lidegaard's book is a must for anyone interested in Danish foreign relations in the 20th century. Henrik Kauffmann, a flamboyant and maverick career diplomat, was Denmark's Ambassador to the United States before, during and after WWII: he was instrumental in securing the status as allied (while the civil service government in Copenhagen collaborated with Nazi Germany); and he negotiated the Greenland deal which has been a cornerstone in Denmark's participation in NATO ever since. The book is also a compelling portrait of Kauffmann as a professional and an highly interesting description of practical diplomacy from WWI to the post-WWII period. Well written and researched it is a thrilling and fulfilling read. (Based on the Danish edition).
