Description
Now in paperback, the final volume of Sir Henry 'Chips' Channon's remarkable diaries offers an unparalleled glimpse into London high society and politics during the 1940s and 1950s.
This unexpurgated account spans the latter half of Chips' life, from the turning point of the Second World War to his own declining health. Throughout, he provides vivid descriptions of events in Westminster, as well as the lives of those who inhabited its corridors, including notable figures from the world of theatre and cinema.
With characteristic candour and wit, Chips chronicles the social and political landscape of post-war Britain, revealing a complex web of relationships and alliances that continue to fascinate readers today.
