Described as Mrs Thatcher's favourite diplomat, Robin Renwick was at the centre of many of the key events in history over the past forty years. His account contains vivid first-hand portraits of Mandela, Mugabe, George Bush Sr, the Clintons and Margaret Thatcher. Not just a memoir he reflects on why diplomacy too often consists of ineffective posturing.

Marking thirty years since the end of George H. W. Bush's presidency, Robin Renwick paints a warm, affectionate portrait of a President who sought to unify rather than divide his country, and whose staunch belief in diplomacy strengthened cooperation around the world.
