Baron Beyens Is one Of the notable

Europe into the seething struggle. Then,
leaving Berlin. he entered the Belgian

also to write a book which graphically
describes the week Of tragedy at the
German capital when the British and
French ambassadors and himself made
their last attempts to prevent the Euro

Hughes entered into the spirit of the
