Description
1928. Among the statesmen whose influence contributed to determine the course of events in Europe in the decade before the outbreak of the world war, no figure has aroused more controversy than that of Sir Edward Grey, now Viscount Grey of Fallodon. To some he still appears a Machiavelli, perfidious Albion in the flesh; to others a sincere and honest citizen, incapable of the political dealings that shun the light or of anything no straightforward. Some see in him a great statesman; others a bungler, a shortsighted, naive blunderer, lacking in resolution and much more influenced and pushed by his advisers subordinates in the Foreign Office, especially Sir Charles Hardinge, Sir Arthur Nicolson, Sir William Tyrrell, and Sir Eyre Crowe, than the world imagines. These conflicting impressions of Grey are both widely held in Britain. Contents: Predilections and Prejudices; Sir Edward Grey's Free Hand; The Piling of the Faggots; The World Conflagration; and War and Peace.
