Zustand: Sehr Gut. Zustandsbeschreibung: Mängelexemplar/near mint. Low Born Among the High Brows. The author presents a critical and often provocative analysis of the life of Britain's first Labour prime minister, drawing widely from new material in the MacDonald Papers, interviews, government documents, and private papers of political contemporaries and family members. From the introduction: "This book is not a sympathetic defense of MacDonald's actions and decisions. In some cases, such as his decision in 1914 to oppose Britain's entrance into the war, I offer an even more critical evaluation of his activities than has heretofore been considered. It is a study of how a man manipulated events and people, especially in his own party, to become indispensable to his party's advancement and play an integral part in realigning the political structure of 20th Century Britain following the First World War".
