1 comments about Disraeli (Past Masters).
- I bought this because it was part of a good series, and I was interested in learning a bit more about Disraeli. Basically, I was interested in finding out what it is about Disraeli that makes the man worth remembering.
This book was a disappointment. The author doesn't seem to like Disraeli very much or to respect him very much. In the first half of the book (which is all I could bring myself to finish) he basically presents Disraeli as a mediocrity. Not a hint of why the man might be worth remembering or discussing.
So if, like me, you're interested in finding out what it was about Disraeli that makes the man worth remembering, I'd recommend that you look elsewhere.

1 comments about Speaking for Themselves: The Personal Letters of Winston and Clementine Churchill.
- I ended up importing this book from the UK and was very glad I did; Churchill especially reveals himself quite candidly in these letters to his wife, especially in his years out of government before WWII. Of particular interest to me were Clementine's roles and reactions to Churchill's political and military life, and what they suggest about womenof that time, class and place, etc. (Suffragettes were violent & violently handled protesters, eg) As someone who reads history partly as a way to frame with (I hope) some intelligence the events of today, this was a deeply interesting 1st person x2 account of Britain in 1st half of the century.
