Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Edinburgh Review, Vol. 204: Or Critical Journal; For July, 1906;;; October, 1906 1. Lord Randolph Churchill. By Winston Spencer Churchill, M. P., Author of The Story of the Malakand Field Force, 1897, The River War, London to Ladysmith via Pretoria, &c. In 2 vols. London: Macmillan & Co., 1906. Whatever judgement men may pass on the career of Lord Randolph Churchill, no one can dispute the great literary talent shown by his son in the brilliant biography he has given to the public. However important historically the events which he describes, he has known how to make the personality of his father always the predominating interest of the book. It is biography, not history, at which the author has aimed. Short as was the career of Lord Randolph Churchill, it was long enough and full enough of incident to enable his biographer to present it as a sort of drama in which, after his hero´s conspicuous abilities had raised him almost to the summit of fame, an unhappy fate, or perhaps it was due to some inmate qualities of his own - some ´... defect of judgement To fail in the disposing of those chances Which he was lord of...´ ruined everything and dashed him to the ground never to rise again.
