Twenty-Five Years: 1892-1916 - Vol. I

GREAT BRITAIN'S brilliant statesman, Foreign Secretary during the early years of the war, tells the story of the twenty-five years from 1892 to 1916 inclusive-an account of the most momentous period in modern history by the man who was for a longer time continuously in charge of Foreign Affairs than any other minister in the world.Lord Grey enters deeply into British-American relations-revealing for the first time many important transactions hitherto unknown to the public-and has much to say of Theodore Roosevelt, Walter Hines Page and Colonel House, giving us some Roosevelt letters never before published. He also gives the text of the confidential memorandum presented to him by Colonel House which stated the peace terms President Wilson would attempt to secure.The outstanding work of the year, supplementing in many interesting ways 'The Life and Letters of Walter H. Page.'Richly illustrated throughout with photographs.
