Dr. Michael Byrne, Friend of Waterford Treasures, has just published another book called, ‘The End of Asquith’, which is now available to purchase on Amazon for only €9.99.
‘A political drama set amidst the upper echelons of the Asquith Government might not sound like everyone’s cup of tea and indeed probably isn’t. Author Dr. Michael Byrne nevertheless deserves credit here for almost achieving the impossible task of being both almost wholly historically accurate and being dramatically engaging. The novel often reads like a film or TV script. Anyone planning a drama based around the very British coup which saw Herbert Asquith usurped as wartime Prime Minister by David Lloyd George in 1916, could do worse than using this book as a starting point.’ (Chris Hallam’s World View)
