Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a damning critique of the post-WW1 British government's reckless and extravagant spending in the years immediately following the war. Its projects were expensive, unnecessary, and often counterproductive. Through the use of concrete examples and analysis, the author argues that this spending led the nation to the brink of economic collapse and personal bankruptcy. The author suggests a return to pre-war spending levels and a cessation of frivolous and wasteful national and military projects in order to avert national financial disaster. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

Hardcover. Condizione: Fair. No Jacket. 1st Edition. [1st ed., 1st printing] ; xi, 304 p : ill., maps ; 23 cm. ; 8vo .; OCLC 1556769982 ; red cloth with decoration designs on spine with lettering in gold ; spine shows exposure to damp in its past ; Signature of Esmond Cecil Harmsworth, 2nd Viscount Rothermere (1898-1978), a British Conservative politician and press magnate., on the front endpaper ; He became a director of The Rank Organisation in 1962 ; Joachim Murat has come to epitomise the beau ideal cavalryman. Indeed, in the decades following the Napoleonic era, as a horse soldier excelled to extraordinary prominence, the name of Murat was often considered as analogous. In reality nobody could come close in stature and performance. Murat was one of many young men who saw the French Revolution as an opportunity to prosper in influence, power, status and wealth. An unabashed self publicist, his gorgeous uniforms were singular and exceptional even in an age when the dandy in military uniform was the norm. His ambition was insatiable and in this was the root of his downfall, for he lacked the intelligence and moderation to consolidate his advantages. Yet, Murat rose to be a soldier of the highest rank, through marriage a member of Napoleon's own family, he was elevated to the aristocracy as Duke of Berg and in time crowned King of Naples. Though, like many of his calling, he was no military mastermind Murat was a reliable lieutenant to Napoleon often achieving-through deeds of daring-far more than other senior officers could for their emperor. Above all there could be no doubt about the quality of Murat's personal courage. He led from the front and latterly rode into the fiercest melees armed only with a riding crop. Though he came from a different and lesser mould than his master Napoleon, Murat fatally shared his weakness for conceits and hubris and, as with Napoleon himself, poor judgment ended his career ignominiously before a firing squad of his former subjects.--Leonaur Limited ; "This biography, although somewhat too full of unnecessary words, is interesting as a new study of one of Napoleon's ' creations.' The whole work shows how difficult it is to credit that Joachim Murat, brilliant soldier that he was, would have risen to anything like the position he afterwards held, had it not been for the favour and influence of his Imperial brother-in-law. We trace in this book Murat's rise from the people, first by the stepping stone of the seminary, then by the ladder of the army ; and it is interesting to note that in the days of The Terror he sheltered him- self from the charge of ' Aristocracy ' by pointing out that his father, the old inn-keeper, was a ' travailleur. In this account of his early life we get many instances of his real affection for his family, and it is pleasing to think that his mother saw him in full glory when, in 1803, he revisited La Bastide. The author does not excuse Murat from his share in the murder of the Duc d'Enghien, and wishes that he had withstood Napoleon, but Murat's facile southern nature, vain, greedy, generous, and emotional, soon got over the shock, and perhaps the most interesting part of the book for the military campaigns can be read as well elsewhere-is Murat's extraordinary behaviour when he became Grand-Duke of Berg, and imagined himself a sovereign beyond the power of Napoleon. The Neapolitan portion of his life is well told also, although more might have been said about his relations with his wife, and the connection between her acts and the tragedy of Pizzo. There is some information in this book about Murat's nephews and nieces (one of whom became Princess Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, and ancestress of many Royal houses), difficult to get elsewhere, the work is on the whole well done. We must, however, take exception to the forms of French names the author uses at times, and condemn ' De Polignac ' and ' De Rivière ' ; and we wish that the book had been illustrated by better pictures ." --Scottish Historical Review, 1912 ; FAIR.

Six items from the Rothermere papers, on disparate subjects, casting light on the workings of 1930s Fleet Street. In good condition, lightly aged. The six are described below in chronological order. ONE: Typed Copy of letter, '(sgd) ROTHERMERE', to Donald. Hotel Splendide, 105 Piccadilly, W.1. 12 November 1929. 1p., 4to. The letter begins: 'My dear Donald, | I quite understand all the peculiar difficulties with which you are surrounded in connection with the Anglo-Foreign Newspapers Ltd. | As you are a director, and are going to be made chairman, I wish to help you in every possible way.' He describes a share option he is willing to make, and concludes: 'I am a large shareholder in Anglo-Foreign Newspapers Limited, and this is in consideration of your remaining a director of the Company.' TWO: Typed Letter Signed from Ernest Outhwaite (director of the Leeds Mercury and described by Richard Bourne as 'a director and factotum of Rothermere') to 'Sir Robert'. On letterhead of La Dragonniere, Cap Martin, A.M. 8 April 1930. 1p., 4to. He quotes a long telegram he sent him regarding offers by Rothermere regarding 'Camrose' and the Newcastle Evening World, Newcastle Chronicle, Bristol Evening World, 'Bristol paper' and 'Derby paper'. He asks him to acknowledge receipt and 'pass on the suggestion'. THREE: Typed Copy of letter, 'signed) Rothermere', to Donald. Hotel Splendide. 3 June 1930. 1p., 4to. Requesting him to 'obtain from Lloyds Bank detailed particulars of the Hull and Grimsby Newspaper Company'. FOUR: Typed Copy of letter from the libertarian publisher Ernest J. Benn (1875-1954) to 'The Rt. Hon. the Viscount Rothermere, | The Daily Mail, | London.' Bouverie House, Fleet Street, E.C.4. 30 June 1930. The letter begins: 'Dear Lord Rothermere, | There can be no doubt as to the gravity of the coming economic crisis. For my own part I prefer those sections of your programme which deal with economy and freedom rather than this protective business whatever it may be called. | I was evidently wrong. I credited you with the controlling voice in Anglo Foreign Newspapers and through them Industrial Newspapers, and have thus looked upon you as to some extent responsible for a troup [sic] of publications that I would be very glad to have.' FIVE: Carbon copy of Typed Letter [from Rothermere] to unnamed recipient. 4 December 1930. 1p., 4to. Giving the conditions for granting 'an option on Forty Thousand Ordinary Shares in Northcliffe Newspapers Limited'. SIX: Typed Letter Signed from 'Robert Donald' to 'The Hon. Esmond Harmsworth, | Northcliffe House, E.C.4.' On letterhead of 12 Thorney Street, Palace Gate, W.8. 24 March 1932. 1p., 4to. With a few autograph corrections. He begins with the wish that Harmsworth has 'returned quite recovered' from his recent illness. 'I have had several talks with Sutton regarding the "Dispatch". I am quite ready to begin the Causerie which we have discussed. I would not like it to be confined to politics. I am quite sure I can get exclusive political news when it is going, but it is not always available. In any case a gossipy newsy Causerie should be more comprehensive. At the same time, of course, I would not deal with social or society matters.'.…
