Shane Leslie

4.9/5 (16302 ratings)

Description:From the dust jacket:"Sir Shane Leslie in a long life has had many interesting and varied experiences. His early years were largely spent in the almost feudal conditions of an Irish castle. Then came Eton, a period of study in Paris, and Cambridge. He then devoted himself to the cause of Irish Nationalism with leaders like Redmond and honoured colleagues, not with Sinn Fein. After a period of ambulance driving in the First World War with the French Army, he went to America to undertake important work as an unofficial liasion officer between the Government and Irish authorities there. In between the wars he saw much of Society, high and low, in London and Ireland. He has many stories about Winston Churchill whose cousin he was, his mother and Lady Randloph being sisters. He is a devout Roman Catholic and has written many books on religious as well as mundane affairs. He has mixed with many eminent, and curious less eminent, people and he writes about them with skill, a keen sense of humour, wise discernment, and often pleasing candour. This is a really excellent book of reminiscence, giving a convincing picture of later Victorian, Edwardian and Georgian times in circumstances which cannot come again."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
