THE WAY THE WIND BLOWS: AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY. By Lord Home.

(1976) 1976 reprint. 8vo (148 x 234mm). Pp320. B/w photographs plates. Green boards, spine titled in gilt.

As Sir Alec Douglas Home, Lord Home was Foreign Secretary and Prime Minister. His service in the army in the 1914-18 war, and subsequent long political career gave Home a ringside seat for all of the greatest upheavals of the twentieth century. Home's account of his upbringing in the Border Country "describes a background that has altered little for the last two centuries. But the scenes and characters of his public life, Munich and the Abdication, Chamberlain and Hitler, Baldwin and Churchill, De Gaulle and Mr. Gromyko, Khruschev and Kennedy, Vietnam and Rhodesia, Menzies and Walter Nash, Harold Macmillan and Pandit Nehru, are right up against the footlights of our time. There is a characteristic lightness and sureness in the author's portrayal of them. Lord Home brings to the convulsions of this fevered age the serene realism of a man who has observed nature long and closely and who knows his own mind."
