This is the first book I have read devoted to a study of the wartime Prime Ministry of Asquith. Of course his name has appeared in many of the books I have read on various aspects of WWI. However, none of them dealt with Asquith in any depth. Those works tended to slander him in terms of his ability to handle the country during war. This book took an opposing position. The author, not being an apologist, did point out the shortcomings of Asquith's style, performance and judgment. However, he also pointed out that Asquith was Prime Minister during the opening 2 years of a war of unprecedented proportions. All in all I thought Cassar fairly treated Asquith given his circumstances and the rapidly changing situations and nature of the first global-industrial war.

Worth the read.
