Miklós Lojkó is a Ph.D graduate of the University of Cambridge, and is currently Senior Lecturer at the School of English and American Studies of Eötvös Loránd University as well as Academic Writing Instructor at the Department of History of the Central European University.
"It is well known that the victorious peacemakers of Paris left
numerous issues unresolved in 1919. This substantive study by
Miklós Lojkó offers a case in point. Lojkó mined British public and
private archival collections to paint an elegant portrait of
consummate British diplomacy in the first half of the 1920s. The
chapters on financial diplomacy are diplomatic history at its best.
Exceedingly well written, they make elaborate schemes of
international and public finance understandable to the layman. This
is a book that ought to be a prized possession of every research
library."
