Description
What dominates Strickland’s life is a bitter dispute with the Church over its interference in politics. It was one of the most
classic clashes between Church and State in modern times, directly involving Vatican and British chancelleries in power politics. This
work goes deeply into claims, proved to have been unfounded, that Strickland was a Freemason, and reconstructs the attempt on
Strickland’s life at the law courts in 1930. History has been generally unkind to Strickland. This re-evaluation of his political life and times, anchored firmly in
the context of the time, attempts to put him in a better light. Hardcover. Published by Kite Group 2019
