About this book

H.H. Asquith: Letters to Venetia Stanley by H.H. Asquith. mass_market edition. ISBN: 9780192851468.

More than the fascinating story of Asquiths love for Venetia Stanley, these letters provide a rare inside look at British politics. They reveal a statesman faced with political ruin in the Irish civil war who escaped by leading Britain through the crisis of 1914 and the early years of the war. Asquith confided completely in Venetia, sharing with her military secrets that were unknown to the Cabinet or to naval and military commanders. He described political intrigues and wrote openly of his colleagues--who include Lloyd George, Churchill, and Kitchener.
