IPT Posted 23 May , 2014 Share Posted 23 May , 2014 New York Times 1922"Let us hope thatThe Pomp of Power" will be the last of the anonymous books. It would have added greatly to the force of this one if the writer were courageous enough to sign it; but, after all, most of us who believe in reconstruction will not regret this lack of force in a book which, with all its power of style and keen insight, tends toward the fostering of distrust and hopelessness."

Guest Posted 23 May , 2014 Share Posted 23 May , 2014 He was a Conservative MP for Hastings, but resigned 13/4/1921 wiki Possibly to do with these books? Can't see much in Hansard, or BNA, will keep looking. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
