Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. 608 pages. Some wear to dust jacket edges. Includes Abbreviations, Foreword and Acknowledgments, and Index. Also includes numerous black and white illustrations, Hankey's draft "Manifesto" August 1931 on page 549, and MacDon…ald's amended note on financial measures on page 551. Also includes a map the the Dardanelles in 1922 on page 278. Captain Stephen Wentworth Roskill, CBE, DSC, FBA (1 August 1903 - 4 November 1982) was a senior career officer of the Royal Navy, serving during the Second World War and, after his enforced medical retirement, served as the official historian of the Royal Navy from 1949 to 1960. He is now chiefly remembered as a prodigious author of books on British maritime history. For his actions in helping keep HMS Leander afloat, Roskill was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross. In March, 1944 he was promoted acting captain and joined the British Admiralty delegation in Washington, D.C. as chief staff officer for administration and weapons. He was the senior British observer at the Bikini Atomic tests in 1946, and served as Deputy Director of Naval Intelligence, 1946-48 before retiring as a captain. On retiring from service in 1948, Roskill was appointed by the Cabinet Office Historical Section to write the official naval history of the Second World War. His three volume work The War at Sea was published between 1954 and 1961. He was a visiting lecturer at several universities, including being Lees Knowles Lecturer in 1961, the Distinguished Visiting Lecturer at the U.S. Naval Academy in 1965, and Richmond Lecturer at Cambridge University in 1967. This book covers the period from the Armistice to the fall of the Labour Government in 1931. The Paris Peace conference which Hankey in effect organized and to which he acted as secretary, in itself glitters with fascinating material. The characters of Wilson, Chemenceau, and Foch as depicted by Hankey come through sharply and offer an interesting contrast to Keynes's famous study. But, as in the earlier volume, Hankey's account of Lloyd George in action is incomparable. Derived from a Kirkus review: The book jacket makes him look like David Niven, but this second volume of a staggeringly thorough biography of the British Cabinet Secretary confirms the impression that Maurice Hankey was the quintessential civil servant, a man of humble origins who rose to Colonel and a knighthood. Hankey's own power as Cabinet Secretary fluctuated depending on the Prime Minister, and after the fall of his beloved Lloyd George, Hankey suffered, especially during Baldwin's tenure. This installment stretches from the Paris Peace Conference to the 1931 crisis, and it does give a sense of the workings of the British bureaucracy. Hankey had his fingers in everything as a sort of majordomo to the elite -- he was a ferocious organizer of strike-breaking, for one thing, and a stalwart advocate of rearmament during this period (though his relations with co-thinker Churchill seem tenuous and vexed). Roskill conscientiously points out that during these years Hankey exhibited "a hardening of character and a loss of sentiment and sensibility." Moreover, this remains a necessary source for students of British policy and practice between 1919 and 1931. The enthusiastic reception of the first volume guarantees a follow-up readership.

Includes Acknowledgments, Appendices, Index, and Footnotes. Includes 26 b/w photos, and 8 full-page b/w maps.

Captain Stephen Wentworth Roskill, CBE, DSC, FBA (1 August 1903 - 4 November 1982) was a senior career officer of the Royal Navy, serving during the Second World War and, after his medical retirement, served as the official historian of the Royal Navy from 1949 to 1960. He is now chiefly remembered as a prodigious author of books on British maritime history. For his actions in helping keep HMS Leander afloat, Roskill was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross. In March, 1944 he was promoted acting captain and joined the British Admiralty delegation in Washington, D.C. as chief staff officer for administration and weapons. He was the senior British observer at the Bikini Atomic tests in 1946, and served as Deputy Director of Naval Intelligence, 1946-48 before retiring as a captain. On retiring from service in 1948, Roskill was appointed by the Cabinet Office Historical Section to write the official naval history of the Second World War. His three volume work The War at Sea was published between 1954 and 1961. He was a visiting lecturer at several universities, including being Lees Knowles Lecturer in 1961, the Distinguished Visiting Lecturer at the U.S. Naval Academy in 1965, and Richmond Lecturer at Cambridge University in 1967. From 1908 when he joined the office of the Committee of Imperial Defence until 1942, Hankey was at the center of policy. Both Asquith and Lloyd George came to rely unhesitatingly on his discretion and his capability, and had neither had reason to regret it. Asquith promoted him to be Secretary of the Committee of the War Cabinet. Between the wars Hankey was to serve every Prime Minister and to be valued by each as a confidential adviser. Captain Roskill, the author of this book and the leading authority on naval policy between 1914 and 1945, has been given complete freedom to use the diary and all the other papers that Lord Hankey took with him into retirement. Maurice Pascal Alers Hankey, 1st Baron Hankey, GCB, GCMG, GCVO, PC, FRS (1 April 1877 - 26 January 1963) was a British civil servant who gained prominence as the first Cabinet Secretary and later made the rare transition from the civil service to ministerial office. He is best known as the highly-efficient top aide to Prime Minister David Lloyd George and the War Cabinet, which directed Britain during the First World War. In the estimation of his biographer John F. Naylor, Hankey held to the "certainties of a late Victorian imperialist, whose policies sought to maintain British domination abroad and to avoid as far as possible British entanglement within Europe. His patriotism stands inviolable, but his sensitivity to processes of historical change proved limited". Naylor found, "Hankey did not altogether grasp the virulence of fascism. except as a military threat to Britain; nor did he ever quite comprehend the changing face of domestic politics which Labour's emergence as a party of government entailed. In these shortcomings Hankey was typical of his generation and background; that his responsibility was greater lay in the fact that he was better informed than nearly any of his contemporaries". In 1908, he was appointed Naval Assistant Secretary to the Committee of Imperial Defence and became Secretary to the Committee in 1912, a position that he would hold for the 26 years. In November 1914, he took on the additional duty of Secretary of the War Council. In that function, he took notice of the ideas of Major Ernest Swinton to build a tracked armoured vehicle and brought them to the attention of Winston Churchill on 25 December 1914. That led to the eventual creation of the Landships Committee.
