Raymond A. Jones teaches in the Department of History at Carleton University. His previous publications include The Nineteenth Century Foreign Office. He holds a Ph.D. degree from the London School of Economics, London University.
Previous accounts of the British Foreign Office have left the impression that the diplomatic service was an insignificant appendage of the Foreign Office. Jones's study redresses the balance, demonstrating that the diplomatic service was an equal if not senior partner with the Foreign Office in the execution of British foreign policy.
