Book excerpt: Excerpt from Arthur James Balfour: The Man and His Work MR balfour's acceptance of the highest position in the State forms a suitable opportunity to present the record of his public career. It may appear somewhat singular that no biography of Mr Balfour has hitherto been published, but this may be accounted for in some measure by the fact that he has shown a dis position averse to publicity, and in the past given no countenance to the work of recording the services he has rendered to his country during the last thirty years.

Book excerpt: This authoritative and comprehensive biography of the Conservative prime minister captures a remarkable life. Arthur James Balfour had intellect and charm in legendary abundance. On becoming Prime Minister in 1902, it seemed that he had come into his inheritance as a true grandee. He held office longer than any other Cabinet minister and, in a fifty-year career, dealt with successes and defeats with similar equanimity. A graduate in moral sciences, he was notable for his appreciation of culture and philosophy and several of his achievements, including the Education Act, remain influential - and controversial - today. As ideas of aristocratic power are scrutinised and contemporary politicians increasingly trade on personal charisma and image, Balfour's life and career as an old-fashioned grandee make a fascinating contrast to our current world. This study of Balfour's life and career will be appreciated by anyone with an interest in politics and political history, and those who enjoy high quality biographies. Praise for Balfour: The Last Grandee: 'Written with grace, intelligence and concision... An excellent book' - Philip Ziegler, Spectator 'Chronicles the triumphs and disasters of a half-century of politics with an easy style and well-researched surefootedness' - Literary Review 'Skilfully interweaves his subject's life with the politics of his age in a stylish and readable book' - David Gilmour, Sunday Times R. J. Q. Adams is Professor of History at Texas A&M University, a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society and author of many books, articles and academic papers.

Book excerpt: This biography analyses the long political career of Arthur James Balfour (1848-1930), the Conservative politician who became the first Earl of Balfour. Professor Zebel stresses the extraordinary nature of Balfour's career, divided as it was into two specific periods. The first, dating from his entry into Parliament in 1874, and his rapid advancement as a result of family connections, comprised his period as Chief Secretary for Ireland in which he distinguished himself with his policy of 'killing Home Rule with kindness' - his leadership of the Unionists in the House of Commons, and his premiership from 1902 to 1905 in succession to his uncle, Lord Salisbury. The second, beginning in 1914, followed the period of political retirement which resulted from his party's defeat in the 1906 elections and his own loss of the party leadership in 1911. It was the more constructive.

Book excerpt: Arthur James Balfour was born to wealth and position, with intellect and charm to match. His succession of his uncle, Lord Salisbury, as premier in 1902 appeared to be simply another element of his inheritance. Balfour was a Conservative but never a true-blue Tory like the powerful squirearchy who viewed him with awe but often found him difficult to understand. And no wonder: he was a Scottish laird and an English sophisticate; a ferocious partisan and a celebrated intellectual; a sincere Christianity yet a defender of spiritualism; an Imperialist and a Zionist. His short-lived premiership was destroyed by party strife, yet in a renewed career he crafted the 1917 Balfour Declaration as well as the 1926 Balfour Definition of the Commonwealth, and at age 73 he dominated the pivotal 1921-2 Washington Naval Conference. Balfour's public and private lives were simply remarkable-unimaginable today no matter one's talents or wealth. 'Adams is one of those disconcerting Americans who know as much about British history as any Briton. He writes with grace, intelligence and concision.' - Philip Ziegler, THE SPECTATOR 'Adams is an American historian with a remarkable knowledge and understanding of Victorian and Edwardian politics. As in his previous work, a biography of Andrew Bonar Law, Balfour's lugubrious successor as Tory leader, he skilfully interweaves his subject's life with the politics of his age to produce a stylish and readable book.' - David Gilmour, THE TIMES 'Professor Adams does a grand job of bringing to life the man he calls "the last grandee," one of the more original Scots who've made Number 10 Downing Street their temporary digs.' - George Rosie, THE HERALD
