Beaverbrook
by A.J.P. Taylor
Simon and Schuster, 712 pp., $12.95
An impartial biography does not exist. Biographies are full of autobiography, for who can push his way about in another's existence without revealing what he likes and what he simply has to accept? Mr. Taylor hurries to state where he stands in this matter. At the very beginning of his very long book he confesses, 'I loved Max Aitken Lord Beaverbrook when he was alive…the joys of his company were beyond description…. Now that I have learnt to know him better from his records I love him even more.'
