Lord of Hosts: The Life of Sir Henry 'Chips' Channon

The value of this concise Life of Sir Henry 'Chips' Channon is that it fills many of the gaps in his famous Diaries. In their nature diaries tell you what the author wants you to know: either because he thinks things are of no importance or that some things are best left unsaid about the author and others. Here you learn that the diariest was notably gay, for instance. Chips' published Diaries are, in any case, but a small portion of a larger work.
(This brief review of Lord of Hosts recently appeared on the books's UK amazon.com sales page).
