Describes the transformation of the Consul from the days of serving with trading houses such as the Muscovy Company, and the East India Company to the challenges arising in the modern era. This book reveals how the Consuls coped with the experience of British citizens being taken hostage and used as human shields by Saddam Hussein in 1990.
