The ambassadors' letters you were never meant to seeUp till 2006 a British Ambassador leaving his post was encouraged to write what was known as a valedictory despatch, to be circulated to a small number of influential people in government. This was the parting shot, an opportunity to offer a personal and frank view of the host country, the manners and morals of its people, their institutions, the state of their cooking and their drains. But it was also a chance to let rip at the Foreign Office itself and to look back on a career spent in the service of a sometimes ungrateful nation.Combining gems from the archives with more recent despatches obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, Parting Shots is a treasure trove of wit, venom and serious analysis. Astute and often gloriously non-politically, they shed light on Britain's place in the world, and reveal the curious cocktail of privilege and privation which make up the life of an ambassador.

Up till 2006, a British ambassador quitting his post abroad would write a valedictory despatch circulated widely across government, from other far-flung members of the service to the prime minister himself. This was the parting shot, the opportunity to offer a personal view of the country he was leaving: the alcoholic intake of its population, the corruption of its ministers, the state of the capital's drains, or the impossibility of getting embassy staff to clean British guest's shoes - whatever he or she wanted to get off their chest. Often funny, frequently astute and almost always gloriously politically incorrect, these parting shots shed light on Britain's place in the world, and reveal the curious cocktail of privilege and privation which make up the life of an ambassador abroad. * This is a FINE copy of the 1st. edition 5th. Imp. with no visible faults.
