Book excerpt: "A Superb New Biography . . . A Tragic Story, Brilliantly Told." —Andrew Roberts, Literary Review George Nathaniel Curzon's controversial life in public service stretched from the high noon of his country's empire to the traumatized years following World War I. As viceroy of India under Queen Victoria and foreign secretary under King George V, the obsessive Lord Curzon left his unmistakable mark on the era. David Gilmour's award-winning book—with a new foreword by the author—is a brilliant assessment of Curzon's character and achievements, offering a richly dramatic account of the infamous long vendettas, the turbulent friendships, and the passionate, risky love affairs that complicated and enriched his life. Born into the ruling class of what was then the world's greatest power, Curzon was a fervent believer in British imperialism who spent his life proving he was fit for the task. Often seen as arrogant and tempestuous, he was loathed as much as he was adored, his work disparaged as much as it was admired. In Gilmour's well-rounded appraisal, Curzon emerges as a complex, tragic figure, a gifted leader who saw his imperial world overshadowed at the dawn of democracy.

Download or read book India written by Durga Das and published by Rupa Publications. This book was released on 2004 with total page 499 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a fascinating and wholly absorbing contribution to the history of the twentieth century. This fast-moving, lively and independent account of the politics and international affairs is enriched by intimate, perceptive and far from uncritical sketches of great leaders such as Gandhi, Jinnah, Nehru, Desai and Patel. Perhaps no other book reminds the reader so firmly that politics, even at its most exalted and dramatic, is about people. Certainly no one who is interested in India, in the history of British imperialism or in the realities of present day Asia can neglect this goldmine of a book.

Download or read book The Viceroy's Daughters written by Anne de Courcy and published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson. This book was released on 2012-12-20 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lives of the three daughters of Lord Curzon: glamorous, rich, independent and wilful. Irene (born 1896), Cynthia (b.1898) and Alexandria (b.1904) were the three daughters of Lord Curzon, Viceroy of India 1898-1905 and probably the grandest and most self-confident imperial servant Britain ever possessed. After the death of his fabulously rich American wife in 1906, Curzon's determination to control every aspect of his daughters' lives, including the money that was rightfully theirs, led them one by one into revolt against their father. The three sisters were at the very heart of the fast and glittering world of the Twenties and Thirties. Irene, intensely musical and a passionate foxhunter, had love affairs in the glamorous Melton Mowbray hunting set. Cynthia ('Cimmie') married Oswald Mosley, joining him first in the Labour Party, where she became a popular MP herself, before following him into fascism. Alexandra ('Baba'), the youngest and most beautiful, married the Prince of Wales's best friend Fruity Metcalfe. On Cimmie's early death in 1933 Baba flung herself into a long and passionate affair with Mosley and a liaison with Mussolini's ambassador to London, Count Dino Grandi, while enjoying the romantic devotion of the Foreign Secretary, Lord Halifax. The sisters see British fascism from behind the scenes, and the arrival of Wallis Simpson and the early married life of the Windsors. The war finds them based at 'the Dorch' (the Dorchester Hotel) doing good works. At the end of their extraordinary lives, Irene and Baba have become, rather improbably, pillars of the establishment, Irene being made one of the very first Life Peers in 1958 for her work with youth clubs.

Download or read book Tales of Travel written by Marquess George Nathaniel Curzon Curzon of Kedleston and published by . This book was released on 1923 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Nathaniel Curzon (1859-1925) was a British politician, traveler, and writer who served as viceroy of India from 1899 to 1905 and foreign secretary from 1919 to 1924. As a young man he traveled extensively and wrote several travel books, or books that drew extensively on his travels, including Russia in Central Asia (1889), Persia and the Persian Question (1892), and Problems of the Far East (1894). Tales of Travel (1923), presented here, is one of his last books. It consists of previously unpublished memoirs and essays based on journeys taken earlier in Curzon's life. The book reflects the range of Curzon's travels, his curiosity and powers of observation, and his literary talent. One essay, "The Great Waterfalls of the World," describes and compares waterfalls in North America, South America, Africa, India, and New Zealand. Another, "The Singing Sands," deals with the strange singing or rumbling sounds said to be heard in deserts, and discusses this phenomenon as it manifests itself in the deserts of Central Asia, Afghanistan, Persia, the Sinai, Arabia, North Africa, and the Americas. Another piece is about sumo wrestling in Japan. One of the most noteworthy essays in the book, "The Amir of Afghanistan," is an account of Curzon's meetings in 1894-95 with 'Abd al-Rahman Khan (circa 1844-1901), ruler of Afghanistan. Curzon characterizes the amir as brilliant and effective, but also cruel and merciless. "He welded the Afghan tribes into a unity which they had never previously enjoyed, and he paved the way for the complete independence which his successors achieved. He and he alone was the Government of Afghanistan." The book is illustrated, and contains a large fold-out facsimile of a map of Afghanistan prepared and circulated by 'Abd al-Rahman Khan.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of England's most noted scholars, and author of George V, superbly evokes the world of the ruling class in late Victorian Britain. Full of anecdote and incident, it captures the life of George Nathaniel Curzon, who served as the Viceroy of India. Born into a family and culture in which privileges were taken for granted, Curzon still believed robustly in the "civilizing mission" of the British Empire. Aside from the remarkable Curzon, such illustrious figures as Oscar Wilde Gladstone, Balfour, and others put in finely drawn appearances.--Amazon.com.

Book excerpt: Yet, seven years later, he was to return home a broken man, his viceroyalty in a shambles, only to be later dispossessed of the Prime Ministership he thought rightfully his. Was this the result of some fatal flaw in Curzon's personality? Curzon has certainly led his earlier biographers to think so, leaving copious writings suggesting that he was brought up by an indifferent mother, a cold father and a savage governess. But new evidence sheds a different light on a more complex personality.
