By Ruddock Mackay

Arthur Balfour was one of the most influential statesmen in British history. He served as Prime Minister from 1902 to 1905, and again from 1916 to 1919. During his time in office, he played a key role in the Boer War, the Irish Home Rule crisis, and the First World War.

Balfour was also a noted philosopher and theologian. He was a member of the Metaphysical Society, a group of intellectuals that included Thomas Huxley, Matthew Arnold, and William James. Balfour's philosophical writings explored the relationship between science and religion, and he was a strong advocate for the compatibility of the two.

Ruddock Mackay's biography of Balfour provides a comprehensive and insightful look at the life and career of this remarkable man. Mackay draws on a wide range of sources, including Balfour's own writings, to create a portrait of a complex and fascinating figure.

Mackay's book is divided into three parts. The first part explores Balfour's early life and education. The second part examines his political career, including his role in the Boer War, the Irish Home Rule crisis, and the First World War. The third part focuses on Balfour's philosophical and religious writings.

Mackay's book is a valuable contribution to the literature on Balfour. It is a well-written and informative biography that provides a fresh perspective on one of the most influential statesmen in British history.
