It covers the period 1969 to 1973. Home again, Dan was an ammunition instructor before returning to Cambridge to command the University Officers Training Corps. His second command was of a Royal Engineers regiment in Germany. When, in 1970, Lieutenant Colonel Dan Raschen is posted to Stockholm as Military Attach for three years he claims it must be because the British Army can t think of anything else to do with him. The book illuminates the little known world of military diplomacy. The varied and sometimes bizarre exploits he describes show how unusual it can be for an officer to serve Queen and country. In the foreword to the book, General Sir Jeremy Blacker KCB, CBE writes cquote Although it records the experiences of one attach in one set of circumstances, the events described are of wider interest and in most cases typical of attach life, while Dan s lively and original view of them imparts a distinctive and invariably amusing spin.

Diplomatic recognition in public international law international law is a unilateral political act with domestic and international legal consequences, whereby a sovereign state state acknowledges an act or status of another state or government in control of a state may be also an unrecognised state . Recognition can be accorded either de facto or de jure , usually by a statement of the recognizing government. Recognition of states and governments Diplomatic recognition must be distinguished from recognition of states and their governments. ref See Stefan Talmon, Recognition of Governments in International Law With Particular Reference to Governments in Exile Oxford Clarendon Press, 1998 pages 1 4 ref The fact that states do not maintain bilateral diplomatic relations does not mean that they do not recognize or treat one another as states. A state is not required to accord formal recognition to any other state, but it is required to treat any entity that meets certain requirements as a state. A state has a responsibility to not recognize as a state any entity that has attained the qualifications for statehood by violating the prohibition on the threat or use of force in the UN Charter. States can exercise their recognition powers either explicitly or implicitly. ref See for example ... and 204 Recognition and Maintaining Diplomatic Relations ref The recognition of a government ... acts do not constitute diplomatic recognition, like when the United States commenced its dialogue with the Palestine ... of diplomatic relations .

Background The diplomatic change was triggered by a separation of interests between Austria, Britain, and France. The Peace of Aix la Chapelle after the War of the Austrian Succession in 1748 left Austria aware of the high price it paid Anglo Austrian Alliance in having Britain as an ally . Maria Theresa of Austria had defended her claim to the Habsburg throne and had her husband, Francis Stephen, crowned Emperor in 1741, but she had been forced to relinquish valuable territory in the process. Under British diplomatic pressure, Maria Theresa had given up most of Lombardy and occupied Bavaria . The British further forced her to cede Parma to Spain, and more importantly, abandon the valuable state of Silesia to Prussian occupation. During the war, Frederick II of Prussia Frederick II Fredrick the Great of Prussia had seized Silesia, one of the Bohemian crown lands.
