Kritik
"Grace Livingstone's book should be read by everyone who takes an interest in foreign policy and international affairs. It is a gem which demonstrates not only the need for changes in the way that foreign policy is formulated but also for a more open and democratic system of recruiting Foreign Office and diplomatic personnel ..." (Stan Newens, Spokesman, Issue 141, 2019)

"The work is, I believe, unique in undertaking an in-depth examination of the role of the state during this important period for international relations, because no-one to date has undertaken such a holistic and intelligently perceptive approach to examining government policy, bringing in issues of class, economics, the role played by solidarity pressure groups and trade unions and structural factors. ... There is so much of value in this book. ... A vital contribution to our historical understanding of how the state works." (Morning Star, morningstaronline.co.uk, October, 2018)
