New in paperback. Hardcover was published in 2014. This is Downing Street daily with a difference; it was written by a woman. Margot Asquith was not a politician, but, as the wife of the prime minister, and one of the most remarkable characters of her generation, she had access to everyone, from the King to the footman. This is a unique record, not just of Britain during World War I, but also of the eclipse of one of the greatest statesmen of any era, H. H. Asquith, and of the Liberal Party that he led.
