These private and previously unpublished letters offer a frank account from within the highest political circles of the Baldwin government (1924-29) and the serious crisis in the Conservative Party which followed (1929-31). Of great depth and richness, this collection is an essential historical source for British history between the two World Wars. 607 $aGreat Britain$xPolitics and government$y1910-1936 607 $aGreat Britain$xColonies$xAdministration$zAsia 607 $aIndia$xHistory$yBritish occupation, 1765-1947 607 $aIndia$xPolitics and government$y1919-1947 676 $a941.082 701 $aBall$b Stuart$f1956-$0320860 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815430403321 996 $aConservative politics in national and imperial crisis$94060553 997 $aUNINA
