About

This chapter examines interwar European parliamentarians’ private missions abroad as informal diplomats and analyzes the party-political and other deals they made across the continent. The chapter focuses on the specific case of the British Labour Party politician and Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald, as well as networks of interwar socialists and conservatives.
