A Good Review of the Politics and the Politicians of the Era
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Kenneth Rose is an excellent scholar and this book is about scholarship--debunking the myths and telling the straight story about King George V and the politicians with whom he dealth. My only wish is that I could know more about George V the man, but this is the same objection that I've had of all scholarly biographers of Kings.
