		Curzon liked to think of himself as a mover and shaker, but mostly what he moved and shook was piles of paper.
		Curzon, the inheritor of this mass misery, was tactless in saying that the disaster was no more his responsibility than that of “the man in the moon,” but the issue was, rather, whether he did everything in his power to alleviate the suffering.
		And, in the same sense, Curzon insisted—as he had when he restored, exquisitely, the heavily damaged Taj Mahal and the town of Fatehpur Sikri—that the conservation of ancient and religious monuments was a sacred duty of whichever imperial power happened to be granted their temporary custody.

		David Gilmour’s biography of George Nathaniel Curzon, the Viceroy of India who served under Queen Victoria, recounts the colorful career of the larger-than-life figure who was considered by some to have been a great administrator, and by others to represent the worst of Britain's imperial past.
		Gilmour shows Curzon to have been among the best and the brightest of his time, possessing a deep and broad knowledge of the subcontinent, and he portrays the British Empire at its greatest height and at the dawn of its decline.
		George Nathaniel Curzon’s controversial life in public service stretched from the high noon of his country’s empire to the traumatized years following World War I. As viceroy of India under Queen Victoria and foreign secretary under King George V, the obsessive Lord Curzon left his unmistakable mark on the era.

		The next day Sargent wrote to George, saying, in effect, Now that I have seen your wife, I have changed my mind, and I do agree to paint her." I gave him many sittings, and George was never allowed to see the progress of the picture.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Books: Curzon, by David Gilmour, Hardcover, 1 AMER ED
		Curzon, he demonstrates in this book, was a man whose many talents were undermined by the Achilles' heel of his own arrogance.
		In this work he had checkered success, for Curzon was not particularly well liked at home, in part because he was so openly contemptuous of his lessers and colleagues (and, one suspects, the royals as well).
		Too, writes Gilmour, Curzon often swam against the tide of world events, arguing in the wake of WWI that Egypt should not be granted independence and that Britain should not give in to nationalist movements in its colonies.

		In 1919 an axis known as the Curzon line (after George Nathaniel Curzon, the United Kingdom's foreign secretary) was proposed at Versailles by the Allied Powers to divide Poland from a then nascent Western Ukrainian National Republic (ZUNR) to settle the question of eastern Galicia.
		Although Poles subjected Ukrainians in Galicia to a pacification campaign, in direct violation of the Treaty of Versailles, nevertheless Ukrainians in the territory were spared Stalinist depredations for about 18 years, until the Curzon line was revived in the secret Nazi-Soviet partition of Poland in 1939.
		At the Potsdam Conference in July 1945 the Soviets managed to deflect American concerns about the satellization of Poland by promising to respect democratic elections that would be held forthwith.
