Undiplomatic Diaries: 1937-1971 Ritchie Charles
With an Introduction by Allan GotliebOne of Canada's most distinguished diplomats, Charles Ritchie was also a born diarist. Ritchie creates a startlingly vivid and perceptive portrait of daily life at the centre of major historical events, including one of the finest accounts of the London Blitz ever written -- the people in the parks, the shabby streets, the heightened love affairs. Now, for the first time, Ritchie's diplomatic diaries are collected in one complete volume, covering his entire career in the Canadian Foreign Service.
Evocative and compelling, these diaries beautifully portray a forgotten Ritchie's life was a whirl of high-society engagements, and he turns his dry wit and irreverence to the social scene.
