Oldbourne Book Company, Fleet Street, London 1962 hardcover, 5¾" x 8¾", with dust jacket Ours is an exlibrary copy in transparent protective covering, and usual stamps, tape stains and stickers. FAIR book in FAIR unclipped dust jacket 1916 was the year when victory or defeat in the First World War hung in the balance. This book describes the political scene in London at that time using access to hitherto unpublished material. The battlefront was 500 miles long, the Germans were arrogantly confident of ultimate victory, the Allies were implacably determined that Europe would not be dominated by a militarist power; and there were rumblings of disatisfaction with Prime Minister Asquith's leadership. It was the year of big decisions. Men whose place in history we now take for granted played their parts in this great story.
