Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the political, financial, and legal entanglements that resulted from the involvement of Robert C. Schenck, the US Minister to the United Kingdom, in the Emma Silver Mining Company in 1871. The author examines how Schenck's connection to the company put him and his office in a compromising position, raising questions about the propriety of American diplomats participating in private business ventures within the countries they represented. The book also discusses the impact of Schenck's actions on the reputation of the American diplomatic corps and the public's perception of the United States' commitment to ethical conduct abroad. The author argues that this episode sheds light on the challenges faced by diplomats in navigating the intersection of public service and personal interests, and highlights the importance of maintaining clear ethical boundaries in diplomatic relations.
