註釋""Haldane - statesman, lawyer, philosopher" is an engrossing study of one of the leading political figures of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, co-authored by a retired judge and a former officer of the Lord Chancellor's Department. Mostly, Haldane is remembered as a Lord Chancellor in a Liberal Administration, and then, subsequently, Lord Chancellor in the first Labour Government - but there was much more to the man even than this - he achieved so much as a Minister in other Departments of State. For example, he was one of the most effective Ministers for War this country has seen this century - he, more than anyone, was responsible for the creation of the Territorial Army and the Modern Army. Indeed, he was so successful in this role that the British Expeditionary Force was sent to France within weeks of the outbreak of the Great War, thus saving Paris. Yet despite his vast services to the country, he was forced to resign as a result of anti-German hysteria which was sweeping the country (he had attended a German University and still had a number of German friends) and then came his remarkable political comeback as Labour Lord Chancellor a the end of the War."
