with Bill Wallis as Henri Georges Stephan Opper de Blowitz , 'The Prince of Journalists'
In a special issue of The Times of Saturday 13 July 1878, the French text of the preamble and 57 articles of The Treaty of Berlin were published, with an English translation. As leaders of opinion in England hastened to secure their copies, the plenipotentiaries in Berlin were assembling. The Treaty was read in England before it had been signed in Berlin.
That was the astonishing achievement of The Times correspondent, de Blowitz. Brilliant and restless, he was a braggart and intriguer, but also a lover, and a journalist to his fingertips. How did he obtain and smuggle out that closely guarded secret of The Treaty of Berlin?
