Beschreibung

In his account of four characters each of whose importance was global each of them in their different ways 'monsters' Piers Brendon writes wittily sharply and succinctly - and brilliantly illuminates an age. His cast is as follows: Lord Northcliffe the creator of modern journalism; Arthur Balfour at the centre of the British political stage for half a century and inspirer of the Balfour Declaration which changed the face of the Middle East; Mrs Emmeline Pankhurst founder of the Suffragettes whose personal gentility contrasted so oddly with her violent activities; and Baden-Powell the Boy Scout who never really grew up but who created a movement that spread to almost every country in the world. Piers Brendon maintains that the Edwardian era has been obfuscated by huge biographies. With four shafts of superb irony he penetrates the mists.
