A Life Of Arthur James Balfour

By E.T. Raymond

Book Overview

""A Life Of Arthur James Balfour"" is a biography of the British statesman Arthur James Balfour, written by E.T. Raymond. Balfour served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1902 to 1905 and is perhaps best known for his role in the Balfour Declaration, which promised British support for a Jewish homeland in Palestine. The book provides a comprehensive account of Balfour's life, from his early years as a member of a prominent political family to his rise to power in the Conservative Party and his later years as a statesman and philosopher. Raymond draws on a wide range of sources, including Balfour's personal papers and correspondence, to provide a detailed and insightful portrait of this influential figure in British history. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the politics and culture of late 19th and early 20th century Britain, as well as those interested in the history of Zionism and the Middle East.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
