Sir Carl Berendsen (1890-1973) was the founder of New Zealand foreign policy — a dynamic thinker, gifted writer, outstanding administrator and considerable orator who had significant influence on NZ and its international relationships. As Head of the Department of External Affairs, High Commissioner to Australia, and then Ambassador to Washington, he was involved in the ANZAC pact, preparations for WWII, the formation of the United Nations, the ANZUS Treaty and the Japanese Peace Treaty. Edited by the Hon. Hugh Templeton (himself a former NZ diplomat and Cabinet Minister in the Muldoon government), this is a fascinating and candid account of New Zealand diplomatic history at the highest levels.
