This is really a pretty good read on this almost forgotten man. A comtemporary of Churchill and follower of Gladstone, his influence on British History was longlived and profound. In absence of supporting materials and read in a void, it would not make much sense. It is esential to getting the full unvarnished truth about British first World War Politics and during the 20's when Churchill was starting his "exile".
