@profjasperh-b.bsky.socialJust started reading a big biography of Sir Edward Grey, Britain's Foreign Sec when World War One began. Yes, the chap who gave us that famous prescient quote... Perfect bedtime reading, being an ideal read when the lamps are about to go out. #History #WorldWarOne #HistoryBooks #Books #GoodReads
