GAYNOR JOHNSON is Senior Lecturer in International History at the University of Salford, UK. She is the author of The Berlin Embassy of Lord D'Abernon, 1920-1926 and a number of books and articles on international history and European diplomacy in the interwar period.

'Sir Eric Phipps was an acerbic and astute critic of Nazism between 1933 and 1937. Gaynor Johnson has therefore performed a great service to historians by editing his diary. Our Man in Berlin will be a key source on the period' - Peter Neville, Kingston University, UK 'Gaynor Johnson has done a great service to historians of international relations in editing Eric Phipps' diary. Publication of this fascinating source, illuminating as it does the recesses of British-German relations in the 1930s, is long overdue' - John W. Young, University of Nottingham, UK 'This book will become an indispensable source for anyone studying the origins of the Second World War.' - Erik Goldstein, Boston University
