ASQUITH, H H, 1ST EARL OF OXFORD AND ASQUITH, ...

Additional reading J.A. Spender and Cyril Asquith, Life of Herbert Henry Asquith, Lord Oxford and Asquith, 2 vol. (1932), is the official biography, cautious, discreet, and highly favourable. Roy Jenkins, Asquith, 3rd ed. (1986), is shorter and more critical, though in general pro-Asquith. Robert Blake, The Unknown Prime Minister: The Life and Times of Andrew Bonar Law, 18581923 (1955), gives the Conservative side of the period. Thomas Jones, Lloyd George (1951); and Frank Owen, Tempestuous Journey: Lloyd George, His Life and Times (1954), give the Lloyd Georgite point of view. Stephen Koss, Asquith (1976, reprinted 1985), offers a balanced judgment. George H. Cassar, Asquith as War Leader (1994), details the period 191416.
