PREFACE This biography was written on the invitation of, and with the support of, Mrs John Strachey, who kindly made available to me all papers kept by her late husband. Mrs Strachey has also, as the text makes dear, gone to great lengths to help me in writing the book. So have many friends and relations of John Strachey and I am most grateful to them for their help, encouragement and, often, hospitality. In particular, I am grateful to John Strachey s sister, AmabelWilliams-Ellis, for her generous help. Both Mrs Strachey and Lady Williams-Ellis kindly read the book in type- script and made many valuable suggestions; so too did Strachey s children, Charles Strachey and Elizabeth al Quadi. Among those with whom I had useful conversations or corre- spondence and whom I should, therefore, like to thank are: Mr Ronald Aird; Lady Allen of Hurtwood; Mr W. E. D. Allen; the late Earl Attlee; Mr David Astor; Alderman Sir Joseph Balmer; Madame Julien Benda; Mr F. A. Bishop; Mr George Bishop; Lord Balogh; Lord Blackett; Lord Boothby; Mr Joseph Brewer; Sir Herbert Broadley; Lord Brockway; Mr Roland Brown; Air Vice Marshal S. O. Bufton; Mr James Callaghan; Sir Michael Cary; Lord David Cecil; Lord Champion; Mr Claud Cockburn; Mr Norman Collins; Mr and Mrs Euan Cooper- Willis; Mr Rupert Crawshay Williams; Mr Anthony Crosland; Mr Richard Crossman; Mr Tam Dalyell; Mr Maurice Dobb;
