Chancellors by Roy Jenkins
Jenkins, himself a great Chancellor, looks at the lives and careers of the nineteen men who were Chancellor of the Exchequer between Gladstone's last administration and that of Clement Attlee, immediately after the Second World War and provides a unique insight into their personalities, their social backgrounds and their effect on the country at the time.
