Scandal exiled them from London. Destiny called them to Washington. When it came to Charles and Mary Bagot, the gossips of Regency England had more than their fill of scandal. When rumours of a particularly salacious affair broke through London, the couple were banished to the New World, to serve their penance as British Ambassadors to America. After a perilous voyage across the Atlantic, Charles and Mary set up their embassy in the mudflows of Washington, at a pivotal moment in the new nation's history. Anglo-American affairs had been in turmoil since the War of Independence. But the Bagotsâ (TM) innate gift for politics, culture and social affairs soothed tensions, and established friendly relations. Against all odds, Charles and Mary emerged as the leading diplomats of their day, laying the groundwork for modern global diplomacy. Their trailblazing work, first in the United States
and then later in Russia and Canada would forever change the power dynamics on the world stage. Meticulously researched, The Rebel and The Peacemaker is the untold story of romance,
scandal and the art of diplomacy.
