Grooves of Change, by Viscount Samuel
- Abstract
If the age of discretion is reached when one has learned how to be indiscreet discreetly, Viscount Samuel, at the age of seventy-five, has not yet attained it. An active politician since the early 1890′s, a member of many British cabinets since 1910 and, after Lloyd George, the leading figure in the Liberal party for the last twenty-five years, Herbert Samuel could do much to illuminate for us the still murky stretches of British politics of the past half century. Unfortunately, he has resisted strenuously and, at key points, rather too successfully, the “temptation to include too much.” His hopes have been fulfilled: He has, the reader can assure him, achieved his aim of being “ruthless enough in rejection.”
