Grey, Viscount Of Fallodon Twenty Five Years 1892-1916

But one bit of real history of World War I that I can recommend to anyone is the viewpoint of the fellow on the other side of this "encirclement" business:Lord Grey of Fallodon, the British foreign minister during the war. If you've ever wondered who said "the lights are going out all over Europe; we shall not see them lit again in our lifetime," Lord Grey is your man. His memoirs are extremely readable - indeed, reading them one sees just why we have not seen the lamps lit again. There is simply no individual of Grey's caliber, politician or civil servant, in the whole government racket these days.
