1928. Among the statesmen whose influence contributed to determine
the course of events in Europe in the decade before the outbreak of
the world war, no figure has aroused more controversy than that of
Sir Edward Grey, now Viscount Grey of Fallodon. To some he still
appears a Machiavelli, perfidious Albion in the flesh; to others a
sincere and honest citizen, incapable of the political dealings
that shun the light or of anything no straightforward. Some see in
him a great statesman; others a bungler, a shortsighted, naive
blunderer, lacking in resolution and much more influenced and
pushed by his advisers subordinates in the Foreign Office,
especially Sir Charles Hardinge, Sir Arthur Nicolson, Sir William
Tyrrell, and Sir Eyre Crowe, than the world imagines. These
conflicting impressions of Grey are both widely held in Britain.
Contents: Predilections and Prejudices; Sir Edward Grey's Free
Hand; The Piling of the Faggots; The World Conflagration; and War
and Peace.
