Whilst serving in the prestigious post of Viceroy of India between
1926 and 1931, Lord Irwin (later the Earl of Halifax) was kept
informed about political events in Britain by frequent and lengthy
letters from Cabinet Ministers, senior Conservative MPs and other
prominent figures, such as the editor of The Times. Covering events
from the General Strike of May 1926 to Irwin's negotiation of a
pact with Gandhi in March 1931, these private and previously
unpublished letters mix analysis and gossip. They offer a frank
account from within the highest political circles of the Baldwin
government of 1924-29 and the serious crisis in the Conservative
Party which followed in 1929-31. There is also much commentary on
major figures such as Stanley Baldwin, Neville Chamberlain, Winston
Churchill and Ramsay MacDonald. Of great depth and richness, and
emanating from experienced and shrewd political insiders, this
collection is an essential historical source for British history
between the two world wars.
