His book is a record of events, the facts of which are marshaled in orderly array; it is history written like a superb piece of prêcis writing; no verbosity, no propaganda, no distortion, just the truth and facts. It is just the sort of book that unromantic, academic Mr. Asquith might have been expected to write...
