H.A.L. Fisher was the only professional historian to sit in the British Cabinet and was a member of the first genuine coalition in modern British history.

Reviews
“The wealth of historical material in these volumes is astonishing ... Dr. Russell’s introduction gives a fascinating survey of Fisher’s life and opinions ... These volumes transcend the diary of a single individual to become a source book for the British conduct of the First World War, and the struggle to create a just peace once the war ended.” – Sir Martin Gilbert, Honorary Fellow, Merton College, Oxford
