A Scottish Life: Sir John Martin, Churchill and Empire (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781860644160)

""Colonialism is out of favor now, but I believe the ultimate verdict of history will be that this was one of the greatest British contributions to the world."" This was John Martin's faith. A Scot of strong Christian belief and complete integrity, he was present and played an active role in the analysis, the decision-making and diplomacy involved in the maintenance and, after the war, the ending of British colonial rule. From the Colonial Office to 10 Downing Street to the UN, his tools were his keen intelligence and his capacity for friendship with people of any race or creed.
