Customer Reviews

An almost perfect biography!

This book was the best book I read in 1969, a year in which I read 50 books, 15 fiction and 35 non-fiction. Asquith was born in Yorkshire on Sept 12, 1852, and the account of his life up to 1916 could not be better done. He of course fell on personal bad time after he ceased being Prime mInister when Lloyd George replaced him, and the rest of his life is dismal. He died Feb. 15, 1928. This is a great book, one I have treasured in my memory in all the years since I read it.
