Andrew Roberts' acclaimed biography reassesses Edward Wood, Lord Halifax, one of the most influential and controversial British statesmen of the twentieth century. Drawing on extensive archival research, Roberts explores Halifax's career as Viceroy of India, Foreign Secretary during the policy of appeasement, member of Churchill's War Cabinet and later Ambassador to the United States. Rather than presenting Halifax simply as the architect of appeasement, the book offers a nuanced examination of his beliefs, political judgement and influence on British foreign policy before and during the Second World War. An important contribution to modern British political and diplomatic history.
