  Book Description
  Publication Date: August 26, 2014
  Margot Asquith was the wife of Herbert Henry Asquith,
the Liberal Prime Minister who led Britain into war in August 1914. Asquith's early war leadership drew praise from all
quarters, but in December 1916 he was forced from office in a palace coup, and replaced by Lloyd George, whose career he
had done so much to promote. Margot had both the literary gifts and the vantage point to create, in her diary of these
years, a compelling record of her husband's fall from grace. She once described herself as 'a sort of political
clairvoyant', but she did not anticipate the premier's fall, and it is for her candour, not her clairvoyance, that the
diary is valuable.
  Margot was both a spectator of, and a participant in, the events that she describes, and in
public affairs could be an ally or an embarrassment - sometimes both. Her diary evokes the wartime milieu, as
experienced in 10 Downing Street, and describes the great political battles that lay behind the warfare on the Western
Front. Her writing teems with character sketches, including those of Lloyd George ('a natural adventurer who may make or
mar himself any day'), Churchill ('Winston's vanity is septic'), and Kitchener ('a man brutal by nature and by pose').
Witty and worldly, Margot also possessed a childlike vulnerability: 'This is the 84th day of the war' she wrote in
October 1914, 'and speaking for myself I have never felt the same person since. I don't mean to say I have improved! On
the contrary...'.
  This volume brings together a wealth of previously-unpublished source material with an
introductory essay from Michael and Eleanor Brock, two of the leading authorities in the field. This will be vital
reading for anyone with an interest in the history of World War I or in British politics of the time.
  
  Reviews
  "Michael and Eleanor Brock have edited
Margot's writing with meticulous academic precision. This diary is an invaluable and fascinating text, and we must be
thankful to the Brocks for producing it." --Literary Review
  
  "Almost
every page of her diary carries an interesting remark. The introduction is a model of its kind, setting people and
events in context in masterly fashion." --Spectator
  
  "The diaries
start with the lead-up to war and end with the fall of the last Liberal government and David Lloyd George's
extraordinary coup against the prime minister. Mrs. Asquith is well placed to watch it all. Michael and Eleanor Brock
have done a fine job as editors. Their footnotes signpost all the major events of the great war and provide the reader
with some delicious quotes." --The Economist
  
  "[A] beautiful work of
conjugal editorship by Eleanor Brock and her late husband." --The Daily
Telegraph
