Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a damning critique of the post-WW1 British government's reckless and extravagant spending in the years immediately following the war. Its projects were expensive, unnecessary, and often counterproductive. Through the use of concrete examples and analysis, the author argues that this spending led the nation to the brink of economic collapse and personal bankruptcy. The author suggests a return to pre-war spending levels and a cessation of frivolous and wasteful national and military projects in order to avert national financial disaster. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

Hardcover. Condition: Fair. No Jacket. 1st Edition. [1st ed., 1st printing] ; xi, 304 p : ill., maps ; 23 cm. ; 8vo .; OCLC 1556769982 ; red cloth with decoration designs on spine with lettering in gold ; spine shows exposure to damp in its past ; Signature of Esmond Cecil Harmsworth, 2nd Viscount Rothermere (1898-1978), a British Conservative politician and press magnate., on the front endpaper ; He became a director of The Rank Organisation in 1962 ; Joachim Murat has come to epitomise the beau ideal cavalryman. Indeed, in the decades following the Napoleonic era, as a horse soldier excelled to extraordinary prominence, the name of Murat was often considered as analogous. In reality nobody could come close in stature and performance. Murat was one of many young men who saw the French Revolution as an opportunity to prosper in influence, power, status and wealth. An unabashed self publicist, his gorgeous uniforms were singular and exceptional even in an age when the dandy in military uniform was the norm. His ambition was insatiable and in this was the root of his downfall, for he lacked the intelligence and moderation to consolidate his advantages. Yet, Murat rose to be a soldier of the highest rank, through marriage a member of Napoleon's own family, he was elevated to the aristocracy as Duke of Berg and in time crowned King of Naples. Though, like many of his calling, he was no military mastermind Murat was a reliable lieutenant to Napoleon often achieving-through deeds of daring-far more than other senior officers could for their emperor. Above all there could be no doubt about the quality of Murat's personal courage. He led from the front and latterly rode into the fiercest melees armed only with a riding crop. Though he came from a different and lesser mould than his master Napoleon, Murat fatally shared his weakness for conceits and hubris and, as with Napoleon himself, poor judgment ended his career ignominiously before a firing squad of his former subjects.--Leonaur Limited ; "This biography, although somewhat too full of unnecessary words, is interesting as a new study of one of Napoleon's ' creations.' The whole work shows how difficult it is to credit that Joachim Murat, brilliant soldier that he was, would have risen to anything like the position he afterwards held, had it not been for the favour and influence of his Imperial brother-in-law. We trace in this book Murat's rise from the people, first by the stepping stone of the seminary, then by the ladder of the army ; and it is interesting to note that in the days of The Terror he sheltered him- self from the charge of ' Aristocracy ' by pointing out that his father, the old inn-keeper, was a ' travailleur. In this account of his early life we get many instances of his real affection for his family, and it is pleasing to think that his mother saw him in full glory when, in 1803, he revisited La Bastide. The author does not excuse Murat from his share in the murder of the Duc d'Enghien, and wishes that he had withstood Napoleon, but Murat's facile southern nature, vain, greedy, generous, and emotional, soon got over the shock, and perhaps the most interesting part of the book for the military campaigns can be read as well elsewhere-is Murat's extraordinary behaviour when he became Grand-Duke of Berg, and imagined himself a sovereign beyond the power of Napoleon. The Neapolitan portion of his life is well told also, although more might have been said about his relations with his wife, and the connection between her acts and the tragedy of Pizzo. There is some information in this book about Murat's nephews and nieces (one of whom became Princess Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, and ancestress of many Royal houses), difficult to get elsewhere, the work is on the whole well done. We must, however, take exception to the forms of French names the author uses at times, and condemn ' De Polignac ' and ' De Rivière ' ; and we wish that the book had been illustrated by better pictures ." --Scottish Historical Review, 1912 ; FAIR.
