Abstract

Fernando de los Ríos and “The Washington Post”

The press is an excellent resource for research on diplomatic history and international relations since it helps clarify information coming from memoranda, telegrams and bilateral talk records. For this reason and in order to gain insight on the role played by Fernando de los Ríos as Spanish Ambassador in the United States, a leading American newspaper, “The Washington Post”, has been analyzed.
