As a primary source of historical evidence and insight, it is
difficult to overstate the value and importance of Neville
Chamberlain's diary letters to his sisters.A They represent the
most complete and illuminating 'insider' record of British politics
between the wars yet to be published.A From 1915 Chamberlain wrote
detailed weekly epistles to his sisters until his death in 1940; a
confidential account of events covering the quarter of a century
during which he stood at the very centre of Conservative and
national politics.A Beyond the fascination of the historical record
of people and events, these letters are extremely valuable for the
remarkable light they throw upon the personality and character of
the private man lurking behind the austerely forbidding public
persona.
