A Liberal Chronicle in Peace and War
Jack Pease was at the heart of the British Liberal government from 1908 to 1915, holding the position of Chief Whip through two general elections, and a member of the Cabinet confronting domestic tumult, international tensions, and war.

The story of Gilbert Murray is that of a brilliant scholar and diplomat--a man who emigrated to England from Australia, made a distinguished career as a classicist at Oxford and Glasgow, and became Chairman of the League of Nations Union. Drawing on Murray's own letters and writings, the late Sir Duncan Wilson, himself an esteemed classical scholar, writes with freshness and perception of Murray's classical work and international efforts.
