Eden
by D R Thorpe
“D R Thorpe is a good example of something that British writers are good at which is writing the story of history and the story of their times through the lives of particular individuals. Eden is a straightforward biography. It doesn’t gloss over the bad sides of him as a person. Eden had a bad temper and he was vain. But he was also an extremely skilful diplomat.”
