3: Between the Wars
LADY VIOLET BONHAM CARTER (BAHONESS ASQUITH) remembers her father's return to Westminster after being ' a disinherited wanderer without a seat ' and how. later, she herself was asked to stand for Parliament. She describes the ' agonising two-way tug-of-war ' between her earnest wish to serve in the House and her conviction that the claims of her children should come first.
Lady Violet speaks also of Stanley Baldwin and of Neville Chamberlain: of Winston Churchill and the growing threat of Hitler's Germany, and of the days of Munich-' a lasting wound.'
