The Confusion of Command
KEYNOTE: An honest account by a Great War general, never previously published 'The enemy has got to be fought everywhere and hard... Everything is going very well indeed and no one minds the losses as long as we are moving.'

Pease was an unassuming participant in the deliberations of a unique gathering of political talent. His journals as President of the Board of Education from 1911 to the formation of the coalition ministry in 1915 are a closely observed, unvarnished record of what he saw and heard in Downing St and Westminster: constitutional and Home Rule crises, industrial conflict, electoral reform, women's suffrage controversies, struggles over budgets, naval estimates, an...
