H. H. Asquith Letters to Venetia Stanley (Paperback)

H. H. Asquith fell in love with Venetia Stanley in the spring of
1912. Over the next three years he wrote to her whenever he could
not see her: sometimes three times a day, sometimes during a debate
in the house of Commons, on occasion even during a Cabinet meeting.
He shared many political and military secrets with her and wrote
freely of his colleagues in government, who included LLoyd George,
Churchill, and Kitchener. The correspondence ended abruptly in May
1915 when Venetia told Asquith of her engagement to a junior
Cabinet Minister, Edwin Montagu. The Prime Minister, who was at a
crisis in his political fortunes, confessed himself utterly
heart-broken. This reissue of Asquith's letters to Venetia Stanley
includes explanatory notes from Michael and Eleanor Brock, two of
the leading authorities in the field. This volume documents a
romance, and yet is vital reading for anyone interested in the
history of World War I or in British politics of the time.
