Scholarly, certainly comprehensive and as objective as it is possible to be with such a complicated, many-sided, turbulent and often misunderstood politician, who left such deep and lasting marks on Britain. Who today knows he was one of those particularly involved with saving those historic places which quite soon led to the National Trust? Enigmatic and occasionally lovable, Curzon comes to life for us here with all his many warts but also his many virtues.
