by Lord Boothby
In the second of three programmes the recollections of the long political career of the late
Lord Boothby, a Member of Parliament for 34 years, are continued. He talked to Andrew Boyle about the lead up to the Second
World War, his time in the political wilderness as an anti-appeaser during the Chamberlain era, his secret mission on the outbreak of war to secure much-needed weapons for the British
Army, and the 'Czech Gold Affair', which nearly saw the end of his political life.
