"The official historians of Britains foreign and commonwealth office (FCO) continue to make steady progress with the third series of their post-1945 volumes of documents... impeccably presented, with a substantial introductory essay, ninety-four documents produced in full, copious footnotes (many summarising other documents), a number of photographs, some fascinating appendices, and a quaintly old-fashioned refusal to provide the first names of officials."
