Summary "The Amateur Diplomat: A Novel" by Hugh S. Eayrs and Thomas B. Costain is a fictional work written in the early 20th century. This novel centers on a Canadian named Don Fenton, who becomes embroiled in the intricate political intrigue of Ironia, a fictional Balkan kingdom, during World War I. Through Fenton's journey, the narrative delves into themes of loyalty, love, and the complexities of international diplomacy amid the backdrop of war. At the start of the story, Fenton arrives in the capital city of Serajoz and quickly reconnects with his old friend, Percival Varden, who is involved in the political tumult of Ironia. Varden reveals that the country is torn between factions supporting either the Allies or the Central Powers, and tensions are high, leading to dangerous plots, including an assassination attempt on Prince Peter, a key figure in the struggle. As Fenton becomes more involved, he learns of the intricate relationships and betrayals that define the political landscape, including a budding romance with Princess Olga, which complicates matters further. The opening chapters set the stage for a thrilling blend of romance and political intrigue as Fenton commits to helping Ironia align with the Allies, putting his life at risk in the process.
