This volume provides the full and annotated dairies of the scholar soldier and diplomat Harold Temperley (1879-1939) covering his travels in the Balkans his work for British military intelligence during the First World War and his subsequent role in the Versailles peace conference. As a trained historian he was aware of the importance of observing and accurately recording these momentous events as they unfolded and regarded his diary as a means of preserving a non-official record. As such this fully edited and annotated edition of Temperley's diaries offers scholars a direct and hitherto neglected perspective on some of the most important events that shaped the course of twentieth-century Europe.
