Margot at War: Love and Betrayal in Downing Street, 1912-1916

Margot Asquith's life in 10 Downing Street was filled with drama, love, and intrigue.

This book provides an intimate look into the personal lives of one of Britain's most powerful couples during a time of great social and political change.

With unpublished material from personal papers and diaries, Anne de Courcy brings to life the glittering social salon that was 10 Downing Street, where love letters were written in the cabinet room and gossip and state secrets were exchanged over bridge games.

The book follows Margot Asquith's transformation of Number 10 into a hub of intellectual and social activity, while also exploring the personal struggles she faced during her time there.

By 1916, when Asquith was forced out of office, everything had changed for the country and for the Asquiths themselves.

This is a must-read for anyone interested in British history, politics, or simply a fascinating look into the personal lives of some of the most influential people in the country.
