Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Paperback Edition. Paperback. Small crease to corner back cover. Here for the first time in paperback is the definitive memoir of Lord Beaverbrook. Comprising over twenty essays written by a wide range of intimates, colleagues, employees and society figures, the book is by turns homage to a great man and an exercise in posthumous demystification. The essays are supplemented by a selection of famous Beaverbrook cartoons, providing a vivid record of a man who, among his other achievements, employed all the best cartoonists on both sides of the Atlantic. Among the contributors are A. J. P. Taylor, Lord Blake, Godfrey Smith, Hugh Cudlipp, Alan Watkins, Michael Foot, Lady Diana Cooper and Barbara Cartland. As one might expect from such a diversity of temperaments the result is a fascinating kaleidoscope, probably the most rounded picture we will ever have of Beaverbrook's extraordinary character. Illustrations. 272 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).…
