Naturally, all the great political episodes of Asquith’s time as Prime Minister, the Marconi affair, the Dardanelles fiasco and Churchill’s subsequent disgrace, the munitions scandal (which at least one of Asquith’s officer sons denounced), are treated in detail.
Asquith should have lived with his times and perceived the new, but absolute necessity to cultivate and flatter the demagogues and manipulators of Fleet Street.
Still, Asquith’s feeble resistance in his last few weeks in Downing Street can largely be explained by the loss of Raymond, his eldest son, killed by a bullet in the chest during the offensive Somme in September 1916.
