Edwardian Requiem - A Life of Sir Edward Grey

Klappentext The first biography of Sir Edward Grey in forty years. 'A good portrait of Grey the man' New Statesman 'Well-researched and highly readable - We should be grateful to Michael Waterhouse for reminding us of the substance of a man who is now best remembered for his gloomy remarks about 'the lamps going out all over Europe' and not being lit again in our time - By this book, his light has been well and truly lit for some time to come.' Country Life 'This book provides a remarkable portrait of a double life. Famed for his calm public rectitude, Grey emerges here as a man of great private passion, promiscuously indulged - Grey's patient diplomacy in the cause of freedom is rightly and eloquently applauded in this important book which must rank among the finest political biographies of recent years.'The House Magazine Zusammenfassung The first biography of Sir Edward Grey in forty years.
