About This Item
Fredericton, NB: Goose Lane Editions, 2008. Paperback. Very Good. Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; Was Lord Beaverbrook careless or devious? Were the treasures of the Beaverbrook Art Gallery gifts of loans? Poitras examines the legacy of the first Lord Beaverbrook. He sifts through personal correspondence, takes stock of the witnesses and testimony, and interviews the combatants in a bitter legal battle that rocked the art world on both sides of the Atlantic. Deftly connecting the pieces of this historic jigsaw puzzle, Poitras tells a fascinating tale peopled with an arresting cast of characters - from the self-proclaimed 'master propagandist' to his present day heirs.
