First edition. Inscribed by the author to Anthony Eden on the title-page: 'For Anthony Eden from Bruce in admiration R.G. Bruce Lockhart, Falmouth 20th of April 1960'. Eden appears occasionally throughout the text 8vo, original cloth, spine lettered in gilt. A very good copy. Robert Hamilton Bruce Lockhart's series of succinct biographies devoted to distinguished people in all walks of life, including, inter alia; Harold Nicolson; Richard Crossman; Clemenceau; Lancashire-born Clem Charnock, credited with introducing football to Russia; Welsh novelist Howard Spring; Scottish international rugby union player K. G. MacLeod; and children's author W. E. Johns. Anthony Eden was British foreign secretary (1935-38, 1940-45, and 1951-55)and Prime Minister (1955-1957). Following active service in the First World War, Eden read Oriental Languages at Oxford. He was elected to the House of Commons in 1923. In 1935 he was appointed foreign secretary, a position he resigned in 1938 to protest Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's appeasement of Nazi Germany. When Churchill became Prime Minister in 1940, he was named secretary of state for war, and later during the Second World War once more served as foreign secretary. Eden succeeded Churchill as Prime Minister in 1955. In 1956, his failure to respond effectively during the Suez Crisis, and the subsequent loss of party and public support, ultimately lead to his resignation from office in 1957. He was knighted in 1954 and created Earl of Avon in 1961. A pleasing association copy.…
