The diary of a member of Parliament faithfully kept during most of the period covered. Headlam does not appear a likeable sort, much cavilling about how he could have done so much more in politics if he had only had the money. The diaries are enlightening in that they expose the inner workings of the Conservative Party, especially the process of selecting candidates to run for Parliament. Headlam's usually pithy comments about famous contemporaries with whom he came in contact are fascinating and often entertaining. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

This volume publishes the private diary of a senior Conservative Member of Parliament, Sir Cuthbert Headlam, during the period of the Second World War. Clearly written and highly readable, it gives a fascinating inside view of British public life in those years. Because of its length and coverage, this political diary is uniquely important. It covers the period of 'appeasement' and the coming of the war, the conflict itself, and post-war Labour government and the development of the Cold War. It has much to say about figures such as Winston Churchill, Anthony Eden and Harold Macmillan. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
