500    "This is the first of three volumes of the diaries of 
       'Chips' Channon"--Dustjacket 
520    Born in Chicago in 1897, 'Chips' Channon settled in 
       England after the Great War, married into the immensely 
       wealthy Guinness family, and served as Conservative MP for
       Southend-on-Sea from 1935 until his death in 1958. His 
       career was unremarkable. His diaries are quite the 
       opposite. Elegant, gossipy and bitchy by turns, they are 
       the unfettered observations of a man who went everywhere 
       and who knew everybody. Whether describing the antics of 
       London society in the interwar years, or the growing 
       scandal surrounding his close friends Edward VIII and 
       Wallis Simpson during the abdication crisis, or the mood 
       in the House of Commons in the lead up to the Munich 
       crisis, his sense of drama and his eye for the telling 
       detail are unmatched. These are diaries that bring a whole
       epoch vividly to life. A heavily abridged and censored 
       edition of the diaries was published in 1967. Only now, 
       sixty years after Chips's death, can an extensive text be 
       shared
