Sir Evelyn Wrench, founder of the Over-seas League, published his first book Uphill, in 1934, and it met with instantaneous success. Uphill told the story of Sir evelyn's early days: Struggle opens with the War, and from contemporary letters and diaries the drama of those dreadful days is portrayed with extraordinary vividness.
The closing chapters of Struggle deal with post-war England and America, and there are many interesting sidelights on President Wilson, 'Pussyfoot' Johnson, ex-President Taft, Cardinal Gibbons, Owen Wister and Admiral Sims.
Sir Evelyn's story is one of practical idealism, the strength of which grows with the passing of years.
471 pages including black & white photographs, plus Preface, Appendices and Index.
