About the Book

Oliver Baldwin, the son of PM Stanley Baldwin, was a man who entered public life as a socialist while his father was a conservative. Having enlisted with the Irish Guards, worked in Armenia, and served tough prison time at the hands of the Bolsheviks and the Turks for seven months, he returned to London to face his father on opposite sides of the Commons. But he was most famous for his journalism, including the stirring piece 'No Fascism for British Youth', written in opposition to the Mosleyite fascists, and his coverage of the Spanish civil war for the Daily Mail.

About the Author :
Christopher J. Walker is an author and editor who lives in London. His books include Armenia: The Survival of a Nation and Visions of Ararat, an anthology of British writings about Armenia. Oliver Baldwin played a key role in opposing and describing the Communist takeover of Armenia in 1920-21. A friend directed him to an archive of Baldwin's letters, which has served as the basis of this book.

Review :
'Christopher Walker writes almost as if he were reporting a contemporary nightmare. Consular reports, eyewitness memoirs, local and vernacular sources, all are pressed into service and woven together marvellously. His book is a loving account of ancient Armenia and of its hideous destruction in modern times. Walker is passionate - at times almost incandescent - but scholarly' - Christopher Hitchens, New Statesman
