In May 1931, Alan Don travelled from Dundee to Lambeth Palace to
become Chaplain to Archbishop Cosmo Lang. During that journey he
began a diary. He kept it faithfully for the next fifteen years,
during which he also became Chaplain to the King and to the Speaker
of the House of Commons. These positions afforded him a ringside
view of some of the most momentous events in both British and world
history - including the abdication of Edward VIII, the coronation
of George VI, the rise of Hitler and the trauma of the Second World
War. Now, for the first time, these fascinating diaries are laid
open. They offer a wealth of detailed insight into the
ecclesiastical, royal and parliamentary affairs of Britain and her
elite during two historically significant decades. They also open a
window on the history of the Church of England and its role in the
social, political and military upheavals of the 1930s and 40s.
Anyone who wants to know more about how Great Britain survived
those turbulent times, will be amply rewarded by this engaging,
perceptive and revealing eye-witness account.
