 Foreign Affairs - Book Review - Robert Boothby: A Portrait Of Churchill's Ally - Robert Rhodes James
An experienced biographer, chosen by Boothby himself, has written a remarkably successful life of a British politician and public figure.
Boothby, with his zest for power and love, intermittently achieved and lost both.
An anti-appeaser, a Tory critic of his own party and, for 35 years, the lover of Harold Macmillan's wife (an anguished affair that the British press at the time ignored and that the author handles with discreet candor), Boothby had a knack for trouble and great resiliency.

 Amazon.frĀ : Robert Boothby: A Portrait of Churchill's Ally: Livres en anglais: Robert Rhodes James   (Site not responding. Last check: )
A masterly biography of Robert Boothby, a Conservative politician now little remembered, whose Parliamentary career spanned more than 50 years during the interwar and post-WW II period.
Boothby, a charismatic, ebullient figure, regarded as one of the best orators of his time, was also considered a possible Conservative Prime Minister.
But Boothby's career gives an unusual view of the ruthlessness of Churchill in his treatment of one of his main supporters, and of the determination and charity with which Macmillan faced his own unhappiness, ultimately even giving Boothby a peerage.
