	First World War.com - Who's Who - Lord Beaverbrook
		Beaverbrook's elevation to government was at least in part due to his role in engineering Asquith's ousting as premier with Lloyd George as his replacement in December 1916.
		Clever in his use of propaganda, Beaverbrook commissioned a series of poster campaigns designed by famed artists of the period, and encouraged successful authors to write pamphlets and newspaper articles; the latter group included such luminaries as Rudyard Kipling, H G Wells and Sir Henry Newbolt, as well as Buchan).
		A dispute over jurisdiction with the Foreign Office prompted Beaverbrook's resignation in October 1918 (Beaverbrook was keen to arrange for the dropping of millions of leaflets designed by his department into enemy territories).

		Aitken, William Maxwell, first Baron Beaverbrook 1879-1964, newspaper proprietor, was born 25 May 1879 at Vaughan, Maple, Ontario, the third son in the family of ten children of a Presbyterian minister, William Cuthbert Aitken, who had emigrated to Canada from Torpichen, West Lothian.
		Beaverbrook impishly liked to pretend that he left his newspapers to run themselves, but it is evident that the chief shareholder's telephonic interventions were menacingly perpetual and his flair for informed gossip—and malice—unexampled.
		Beaverbrook, said Churchill, was ‘at his very best when things are at their worst.’ Nothing that he did in his long life was as important as the part Beaverbrook played in winning the Battle of Britain.

	Max Aitken, 1st Baron Beaverbrook Summary
		William Maxwell Aitken (Lord Beaverbrook; 1879-1964) was a Canadian businessman and politician who left an indelible mark on politics and journalism on both sides of the Atlantic.
		In the interwar years Beaverbrook continued to build his journalistic empire; he became a prototype of the modern "press lord." His control of the Daily Express was complemented by addition of the Sunday Express and the Evening Standard.
		When war came again in 1939, Beaverbrook quickly abandoned his inclination to appeasement and rallied to the cause of war, serving his friend Churchill as minister of aircraft production in 1940-1941 and then as an adviser in various guises, including a continued championing of Russia as an ally.

	CBC.ca Arts - Beaverbrook's 'gifts' weren't really that, foundation insists
		The gallery and the Beaverbrook U.K. Foundation are scrapping over the artworks in an arbitration hearing that began in Fredericton more than a month ago.
		The gallery insists the artworks were outright gifts from newspaper baron Lord Beaverbrook, but the foundation, which is run by Beaverbrook's descendants, says they were merely on loan and wants the right to take them back.
		But the foundation disputes that, and Thomson says if the gallery used the term gifts loosely in 1988, even when it thought the works were actually on loan, it may be that Beaverbrook was doing exactly the same thing back in 1959, and therefore the word gift can't be relied upon to prove anything.
