Synopsis: First published in English in 1951, these are the fascinating memoirs of a high level German diplomat, detailing his many years of work within German Embassies at Moscow, Tokyo, London, and elsewhere. The book provides extensive information on the formulation of foreign policy, international negotiations and treaties during the Nazi era, as well as the interwar period.“The aim of this book is to give an account of a political career spent almost exclusively in Eastern European and Far Eastern countries. The task assigned to me by Hitler in London was that of a letter-carrier. My efforts to break the shackles imposed on me and to oppose a policy which was bound to lead to the catastrophe of the Second World War proved futile.”—Herbert von Dirksen
