Beaverbrook's LIoyd Georoe

the Churchill of his time.
Great fleets and grand
armies had moved at his
command. He was ever fertile
in inspiration and recourse.
:. He had to contend with
recalcitrant colleagues, stub
born admirals, treacherous
generals, who were quite
ready to conSpire behind his
back, and even to involve the
King himself in their in
migueS. He looked on tempests
and he was not shaken" This
is Lord Beaverbrook's de-
Scription Of the man who, as
ruler in No. 10 Downing
Street, won the 1914-1918 war.
To the Bitter End
But the politician who
flashes a sword during war
usually collapses when he has
to wave the olive branch of
peace. Even Sir Winston
Churchill suffered this hui
initiation when he was de-
feated, politically, in the
general elections of 1945.
Churchill retired with dignity,
but Lloyd George lacked
Churchill's inward refresh
ments Of character and he
fought, dishonesty, to keep
his power. He plotted; he
quarreled with his colleagues
over Britain's policy with
Russia; he sold honors, most
diSgracefully, to help his
funds, and as a peace maker,
he made havoc in Europe.
Punch published its bitter
and sad cartoon, "And he was
once Prime Minister"
Lord Beaverbrook tells the
story of this winter Of Lloyd
Georges political life with
unassailable facts. In so

Why Conodo ReIives
The Raid at Dieppe
DIEPPE: THE SHAME AND

DIEPPE: THE SHAME AND
THE GLORY. BY Terence
Robertson. (Atlantic-Little,
Brown; $685.
Many, perhaps, have for
gotten the raid in force
which the British Army, Navy
and Air Force Combined OPP
erations) staged against the
Germans at the modest re-
sort of Dieppe, on the French
coast, in August, 1912, a little
less than two years before
the allies swept ashore in
Normandy on D-Day.
The Canadians, though,
will never forget Dieppe. Most
of the raiders, 5000 of them,
were Canadians, and approx
imately 5000 of these were
killed, wounded or taken
prisoner.
The great raid is still a
subject Of controversy, con-
demnation and speculation,
as the case may be, in mill
tary circles of England and
in Canadian homes and COM
munities from Quebec City to
Vancouver. Only a handful
Of American Rangers took
part-50 men, and they lost
Is, or 26 per cent.
The Whole Story
Here, for the first time,
the story of Dieppe is told
fully and fairly, from every
possible angle. The authors
material came from official
reports, from talks with
members Of the high COM
mand who decreed the ex-
cursion and with scores of
survivors-officers, noncoms
and privates. Having amassed
all this material and sifted
it, Terence Robertson carries
out the obligation of any
good historian. He assesses
the big raid, places blame
and praise where he thinks
they are due and draws gen.
eral conclusions from its les
son. He does something more
that not every historian is
able to do: He weaves the
story Of the raid into q
thrilling narrative, beauti-
fully phrased.
What are his conclusions?
The tragic losses-the Ca
nadians alone left nearly
1000 dead on the beaches of
Dieppe when their remnants
returned to the few landing
craft still intact-could have
been avoided or greatly mini
mixed, he feels. There were
blunders In the high COM
mand, especially in the lack
of heavy fire power In sup
port Of the landing. Those
in command of the Cana
dian corps in England wanted
a battleship or at least heavy
cruisers to neutralize the big
guns known to guard the ap-
proaches to Dieppe. These
were refused. No ships larger
than destroyers, with their
light batteries, were sent. The
British Air Force would not
commit itself to full protec-
ton of the raiders and sent
mostly fighters in only one
full-scale attack on the Ger
man emplacements. The
hoped-for element of surprise
was largely lost when a Ger
man convoy at sea opened
fire on some Of the British

Tered an audience" with the
King ION a Saturday morn
ing" Lloyd George exclaimed,
Damn the King! Saturday
is the only day I have to play
golf"
When, as a gesture Of good
will, 1.-THE King asked Lloyd
George to carry the sword of
state" before him, at the
opening Of Parliament" he
lodged the invitation" and
said to his intimates. II won't
be a flunkey."
But there is one theme
Lord Beaverbrook neglects.
He does not tell us enough
Of what the doctors had to
say. Lloyd George was phys
ically wrecked by his years
Of work and it would have
been interesting to compare
his medical reports with his
actions. Therein lies a key
to the victories and follies
Of every great man. Ulti-
mately, his body is the
master of his mind.
Wisdom Finally Came
I met Lloyd George once,
when I was writing my biog-
raphy Of the first Lord Mel
chett, who had been his col
league and his friend. They
had parted in a fire of mu-
tual insult. Lloyd George
had compared Melchett to
Judas. Melchett had said
that the "hindrance" to Lloyd
Georges greatness was that
he could not bear anyone
who had "the instincts and
code Of a gentleman near
him for long" as it gave him
IAN inferiority complex"
Yet, when I sought Lloyd
Georges help, he gave me
an afternoon at his house
in the country and could not
have been kinder. He was
then almost 70 and he twice
remarked, Of two people who
had been his enemies, HE
was above rancor." Wisdom
was coming to him, but
rather late.

ships. While the Germans
withdrew, they gave shore
stations the alarm-obviously
something was up. Then the
Royal Regiment Of Canada
landed more than half an
hour late at Putt, one Of
the thanking spots, and ran
into a murderous fire from
artillery and machine guns
hidden all over the cliffs.
Tracing the Blame
The author traces blame
to the highest places, in
Guiding Lord Louis Mount
batten, then chief Of liaison
with Combined Operations;
the then 1t. Gen. Bernard
Montgomery. who had once
planned the raid, then
washed his hands Of 1t when
it was postponed and had
gone to turn back Rommel
at AL Alamein in Egypt; even
to the Prime Minister, VIM
ston Churchill, who had
wanted a large-scale raid to
placate Russian demands for
a second front.
On the other hand, Mr..
Robertson feels that the les.
sons learned so bitterly at
Dieppe were of great value on
D-Day, contributing thus d.
rectly to winning the war.
Had there been no
Dieppe, he contends, those
who died In August 1912
might have lived for two
years more simply to be
killed in June, 1914. There
would have been no legacy
of life-saving information to
inherit.
"Mountbatten has said
that for every soldier who
died at Dieppe 10 were saved
on D-Day. This may be one
of those vague scraps Of
statistical information i'm
possible to prove or disprove,
but in the absence of some
thing more concrete the ratio
can be accepted as reason
able"
All Stops Out
There was every type Of
fighting at Dieppe-long-
range artillery duels, blazing
British tanks, hand-to-hand
combat when Canadians.
climbed the cliffs, cleaned
Germans out of houses,
fought from room to room in
the Casino overlooking the
main beach. The Canadians,
always terrific fighters (re--
member Vimy Ridge in World
War I?) displayed heroism
not exceeded anywhere in
any battle. Privates, corpo-
rails and sergeants, not wait
ing for orders, clambered up
the heights, alone or in small
groups, under whitening fire,
to silence machine guns or
heavier pieces. Colonies and
brigadiers led futile charges
against terrain as raked with
fire power as the Light
Brigade faced In the Crimean
War.
Mr.. Robertson has told
many of these individual
sagas of bravery that seemed
all too futile for the tangible
results at the time.
His book is an important
contribution to the history Of
World War II.

THE EASTER REBELLION.
BY Max Caulfield. (Holt,
Rim e h art & Winston;
$3.50
No rebellion was more gal
liant, more bungled, more
doomed than the Easter
Rising in Dublin in 1915. It
lasted six days; it did not
call out the populace; it was
utterly crushed, It's leaders
were executed. And it
achieved its goal. The Easter
Rising was the prelude to
the victorious fight for Irish
freedom.
A library of books has been
written about this glorious
and pitiful event, which was
led by poets, dreamers and
wits, who have provided end
less material for biographers
and historians. All were pre-
pared to write their own
epitaphs and most did. There
was never q more articulate
revolution.
The Six Days
Max Caulfield'S book is a
worthy and exciting addition
to the literature of the Irish
rebellion. An Irishman now
living in England, he has
taken on himself the daunt-
ing task of recreating hour
by hour those six days of
fierce fighting. He has,

among his fellow workers;
an orphan, he lives with an
aunt and a crippled cousin,
both of whom he looks after
respectfully and unenthusi-
astically. He has never seen
beyond the most limited hori-
zon, and identifies all hui
mainly outside his little circle
as "la-de-da." After q single
unfruitful visit to q London
prostitute, he, who in all his
reactions is the very arch
type of middle-class propri-
ETY., confines himself in secret
and excoriated with shame to
the excitement of lewd pic
lures. His new fortune makes
a Leica possible as will be
seen from the following
quotation, which I quote
as q good example of Mr..
Fowles' extraordinarily reve-
-latory idiom: I got a

was to take butterflies living
