Although wielding huge influence in late Victorian and Edwardian political life Reginald Baliol Brett 1852 1930 the second Lord Esher was an enigma to his contemporaries and still remains a puzzle to historiansAt the heart of British and Imperial political affairs for several decades Esher sat in both Houses of Parliament was a high ranking civil servant friend and confidential advisor to three Sovereigns and four Prime Ministers of differing political hues and yet refused high office offered by both Liberals and Conservatives Yet his behindthescenes influence through his range of friends in high places gave him unmatched some thought undemocratic power Despite his lack of military service he was instrumental through his work on the Committee for Imperial Defense CID and its Secretarial for the wholesale reorganization of the Armed Forces It could be said that Esher with his grasp of power without responsibility was a unique phenomenon in British historyThe Author while compiling this fascinating study drew on Cabinet and CID files the Royal Archives and the papers of the Esher Balfour Asquith and Lloyd George estates The result is a brilliant readable yet scholarly addition to British political bibliography
