		Sir Harold Nicolson was one of the preeminent diplomats of the twentieth century.
		Nicolson’s position as a diplomat at the Paris Peace Conference gives him a perspective of the events in question that is not available to the other authors.
		The text is an emotional roller coaster, spanning from the unbridled optimism a young Nicolson had upon his arrival in Paris to the disappointment he felt at the compromise of the ideals he held dear to the traditional power politics of European-style diplomacy.

		Nicolson, after an anguished divorce, recommends a form of marriage consisting of mutual respect and affection but not sexual exclusivity.
		Harold Nicolson, who married Vita, was an equally blue-blooded dilettante with dozens of books to his credit.
		But on the basis of mutual tolerance, the two settled down to a marriage their son describes as idyllic, whose sine qua non was the absolute freedom of both partners to enjoy sexual adventures with other men and women.

		The diversity of Harold Nicolson's interests and the irony in his writing make his diary a highly entertaining record of his life and times, as well as a document of great historical value.

		Sir Harold Nicolson (1886-1968) is well known as a diarist, man of letters, diplomatic historian, gardener, and broadcaster.
		Nicolson's bestselling diaries and letters, his many biographies, including the highly acclaimed official life of King George V, and his numerous essays and broadcasts have made him, in the words of his friend and fellow MP Robert Bernays, an international figure of the 'second degree'.
		Nicolson's aristocratic background and upbringing in a diplomatic household, followed by an Oxford classical education and twenty years in diplomacy, combined to forge his distinctive philosophy of international affairs.

		Nicolson himself misses the unintended irony in his defense of his father vis-à-vis Americans by saying that Harold approved of such front-page types as the Lindberghs, the Lamonts, the Morrows, and the Roosevelts.

	Sissinghurst Castle - Part Three
		When the Nicolson’s bought the property, the only inhabitable parts of the castle were the entrance range, the tower, the South Cottage, and the Priest’s House.
		What was unusual about the Nicolson’s gardens at Sissinghurst Castle is that they lived in their garden as if the garden’s rooms were actually the rooms of a grand manor house.
		The Priest’s House, as restored by the Nicolsons, had a kitchen and dining room on the groundfloor; upstairs was a bathroom and bedrooms for their two sons.

		Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicolson’s days in Istanbul probably mark the most conventional period in the history of a notoriously unconventional marriage.
		It was Harold’s posting as third secretary at the British Embassy in Istanbul that had led the young couple, a fledgling poet of twenty and a promising diplomat of twenty-eight, to leave London for the Levant.
		In 1913 the visitor to the Nicolsons’ house in Cihangir, above the Bosphorus, would be greeted by a newly married couple thoroughly in love and eagerly playing the roles of husband and wife according to the conventions of Edwardian society and the city’s conservative British expatriate community.

		Anyway, I’ve become fascinated with Harold and to a lesser extent with Vita.
		Oddly enough, after finishing re-reading this book last night, I heard Harold Nicolson mentioned on NPR this afternoon, although the fellow called him David Nicolson, and didn’t seem to know that not only did he write about the Treaty of Versailles, he wrote the Treaty of Versailles.
		Rereading it, as I have over the last couple of weeks, I’m reminded that they’re not terribly likeable, that for all the fuss over their marriage (he was essentially gay, she bisexual, and their marriage open) they do appear to have gotten on rather badly for substantial periods.
