Harold Nicolson is one of the three great political diarists of the 20th century. Nicolson was an MP  who attended the Paris Peace Conference in 1919.   He never achieved high office, but rarely a day went by when he didn't record what was going on at Westminster. He socialized widely, was married to the poet and author Vita Sackville-West, and together they created the famous garden at Sissinghurst. The diversity of Harold Nicolson's interests and the irony in his writing make his diary a highly entertaining record of his life and times, as well as a document of great historical value. ISBN10: 0297847643.

An excellent hardcover copy, seemingly unread and almost like new. It is in fact a review copy with a review slip laid in. The binding is solid and square. The spine and boards are covered in black paper that shows virtually no wear. The text is clean and unmarked. The dustjacket shows almost no wear but through some error in manufacturing, as I imagine, the coating of the paper is irregular, and in the effected areas looks like a thin, splotchy layer of clear wax. Hard to describe, but not terribly disfiguring and in some light barely noticable. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------The editor Nigel Nicolson, Harold's son, in his Introduction to this selection of diary entries and letters, gives two reasons why this book is so fascinating to read. First, the author knew all the leading figures in the areas of diplomacy, politics and literature. Second, "he had unusual powers of observations and recollection, specially of conversations. " He concludes with what amounts to a third reason: "Loving as a husband, stimulating as a father, lovable as a friend, he was a more admirable and attractive man than great diarists of the past...." 460 pages.
