description: This biography of soldier, statesman, and journalist Oliver Risdale Baldwin, second Earl Baldwin, examines Baldwin's life from his privileged days at Eton as the son of Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin to his dangerous assignment as correspondent for the Daily Mail covering the Spanish Civil War. Also covered are his contentious years in politics as a Socialist in the House of Commons, opposing his conservative father; his experiences in World War I and its aftermath in war-torn Armenia; and his years as a journalist, including his influential article ""No Fascism for British Youth."" Baldwin's private papers and archival research also reveal Baldwin's domestic life with lover John Boyle.
