Led by Lions: MPs and Sons Who Fell in the First World War

Led by Lions: MPs and Sons Who Fell in the First World War tells the story of over 100 men who went to war and did not return.

In this book, Neil Thornton dispels the popular belief that the country’s politicians sat in safety while callously sending the nation’s youth to their deaths. Their own sacrifices, together with those of their sons, are described here in poignant detail, including such names as Tom Kettle, William Gladstone and Raymond Asquith
