- W2489366880 abstract "Lord Inverchapel’s relatively short tenancy of the Washington Embassy, from May 1946 to May 1948, is something of an enigma. At a time of highly significant developments in Anglo-American relations, as the Cold War began and the administration of President Harry Truman committed America to the ‘containment’ of communism, the British Ambassador appears a rather anonymous character, barely figuring in most historical accounts of ‘the special relationship’ in the period. Time magazine, indeed, described him as ‘the invisible ambassador’1 and those who have made a judgement on his Ambassadorship tend to see it as a failure. Even Inverchapel’s friends, Harold Nicolson and Bob Boothby, rated him a disappointment in Washington. Nicolson declined to write a biography of Inverchapel after the latter’s death partly because of the problems of handling ‘the collapse of Washington’; while Boothby bluntly dismissed the Ambassadorship as a ‘great failure’, adding that ‘a glittering career ended in anti-climax’, partly because Inverchapel ‘was no good with the press’ and knew little about economics, both of which were vital for the American post.2 Donald Gillies, his biographer, also feels that ‘Inverchapel’s spell in Washington was not all it could have been.… He ‘very soon became disillusioned and bored with Washington society’, while his dislike of the telephone and preference for writing with a quill were only two of the eccentricities that led him to seem an anachronism in post-war America.3" @default.
