520    The British ambassador in Washington during the US Civil 
       War and ambassador in Paris before and after the Franco-
       Prussian war, Lord Lyons (1817-1887) was one of the most 
       important diplomats of the Victorian period. Although 
       frequently featured in histories of the United States and 
       Europe in the second half of the nineteenth century, and 
       in discussions and analyses of British foreign policy, he 
       has remained an ill-defined figure. In Lord Lyons: A 
       Diplomat in an Age of Nationalism and War, Brian Jenkins 
       explains the man and examines his career. Based on a 
       staggering study of primary sources, he presents a 
       convincing portrait of a subject who rarely revealed 
       himself personally. Though he avoided publicity, Lyons 
       came to be regarded as his nation's premier diplomat as 
       his career took him to the heart of the great 
       international issues and crises of his generation. As 
       minister to the United States he played a vital role in 
       preserving Anglo-American peace and was a powerful voice 
       opposing Anglo-French intervention in the Civil War. While
       ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, he helped to prevent 
       French control of the Suez Canal then under construction. 
       In France, he maintained an amiable and constructive 
       relationship with a bitter nation struggling to reorganize
       itself and its constitution after the Franco-Prussian War.
       For many historians Lord Lyons has been difficult to 
       ignore but hard to admire. In rescuing him as a truly 
       important historical figure, Jenkins details for the first
       time the personal and public strategies Lyons employed 
       through decades of exemplary diplomatic service on both 
       sides of the Atlantic. -- Provided by publisher.
