A forthcoming book of interest to Churchilians :
Margot Asquith's Great War Diary, 1914-16 (OUP) will be published on 26
June.
....Churchill particularly fascinated Margot, judging by how often he makes
an appearance in the pages. "He is devoted to Clemmy [his wife,
Clementine]", she observed, before adding " – but fonder of himself". Later
she ridiculed him as "a dangerous maniac, so poor in character and judgment,
so insolent and childish, I hardly even think him a danger"....
