A grand strategy of peace is the first detailed account of Britain’s role in the creation of the United Nations Organization during the Second World War. As a work of traditional diplomatic history that brings in elements of intellectual history, the book describes how British officials, diplomats, politicians, and writers – previously seen to be secondary actors to the United States in this period – thought about, planned for, and helped to establish a future international order. While in the present day, many scholars and analysts have returned to the origins of the post- 1945 international system, this book offers an exhaustive account of how the statesmen and more importantly, the officials working below the statesmen, actually conceived of and worked to establish a post-war world order.
Andrew Ehrhardt is Deputy-Director of the Centre for Grand Strategy and a Research Fellow in the Department of War Studies at King’s College London
