"To lose his Government post after a scant year and spend the rest of the war as a backbencher was a grievous trial for Harold Nicolson. Yet it is precisely this middle-distance view that made him a superb recorder of those tumultuous times from 1939 to 1945. In Parliament he had a window on history-in-the-making; elsewhere he found the needed leisure and detachment to collate his thoughts, consider the deeper aspects of what he observed, and predict the future. Ever since 1930, Nicolson had consigned to his journals the rich overflow of a capacious mind, sharlply honed by the disciplines of scholar, diplomat and writer. Now, within the context of total war, these diaries became a precious storehouse for heightened emotions and sudden insights, for touching vignettes of Britain under fire and daily barometric readings of hope or despair. Through their pages runs a warm, witty mosaic of casual talk, reflecting his wide interests and immense talent for friendship. Whether chatting with the King and Queen of England, Anthony Eden, Charles de Gaulle, Wendell Willkie, Andre Maurois, Edouard Benes, Harold Macmillan, Dylan Thomas, Edward R. Murrow, Nancy Astor, Arthur Koestler, or Eve Curie, he always has something of substance to impart, something to crystallize the moment. Even the towering Churchill gains a fresh, human profile made up of many informal meetings. Scattered among the entries is a remarkable series of letters, mostly between Nicolson and his wife Vita, known to many readers as V. Sackville-West. A strong bond had been forged long ago by this dissimilar pair -- he convivial, outgoing; she reserved, essentially private -- but their strength of affection under pressure is moving indeed. Frequently parted by his busy life in London, each recalls the lethal pill to be used if invasion occurs; each shares anxious moments for two sons in service. Apart from their historic value and elegance of style, these pages portray a British gentleman who looks for quality in all things and finds his greatest courage when affairs are going badly. Though he is often critical of his peers, no judgment is more searching that that imposed upon himself. This second volume of three owes much to its editor, the Nicolsons' second son, who has pared and annotated the original text with consummate skill, provided useful links, and written a trenchant introduction. Appearance of the first volume last year produced instant acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic. The War Years expands its promise and confirms Sir Harold Nicolson as a member of that small, select band whose journals will help to interpret our century for those who follow." -- from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. First Edition. Diaries and Letters 1930-1939, Harold Nicolson (Edited by Nigel Nicolson) â" First American Edition Publication: New York, Atheneum, 1966 Formatting: 8vo, pp. 448. Condition Report: Very Good. The book remains tight and square in its original blue cloth binding, though the extremities display minor bumping and rubbing characteristic of typical shelf-wear. The striking red top-edge stain retains its colour, while the rough-cut fore-edge and text block show only light, uniform toning. Internally, the pages are clean and bright, free of serious blemish or foxing, ensuring an excellent reading experience. It is housed in a dust jacket that is generally well-preserved but exhibits some visible toning to the spine, alongside moderate chipping, creasing, and small closed tears along the top edges and spine ends. Despite these minor cosmetic flaws to the jacket, the volume presents handsomely overall. Catalogue Note: This is the first American edition of the initial volume of Harold Nicolson's celebrated diaries, covering the pivotal pre-war decade of 1930 to 1939. Issued concurrently with the Collins UK edition, this volume forms a crucial part of twentieth-century political and literary history. The text is notably illustrated with black-and-white photographic plates, offering intimate glimpses into Nicolsonâs life alongside his wife, Vita Sackville-West, including their famous portrait at Sissinghurst, which is also featured on the rear panel of the dust jacket. Finding an example that has not suffered significant sunning or severe wear to the dust jacket remains a modest challenge for collectors. The absence of modern restoration, intrusive previous ownership inscriptions, or institutional stamps makes this a sound, highly collectible addition to any library of British diplomatic history or Bloomsbury-adjacent literature. Harold Nicolsonâs diaries offer an extraordinarily candid, behind-the-scenes view of British political and cultural life during the turbulent 1930s. Spanning the period from his resignation from the Foreign Office to the outbreak of the Second World War, Nicolson chronicles his shifting political allegiances, his interactions with towering figures such as Winston Churchill and Anthony Eden, and his deeply personal life with his wife, Vita Sackville-West, at Sissinghurst. Perfectly balancing intimate reflections on literature and family with a sharp, contemporaneous critique of a Europe sliding toward conflict, this memoir serves as an indispensable firsthand record of a defining era.
