HaigDuff Cooper, c. 1932-1937COOPER, Duff (1890-1954). Autograph manuscript for Haig, n.p., c. 1932-1937.850 pages (approx.), 228 x 178mm, with corrections and emendations, a few pages in typescript (occasional tears). In a pair of red half morroco clamshells.The manuscript for Duff Cooper's biography of Field Marshal Douglas Haig. Cooper was a rising star in Parliament in the 1920s who had risen to financial secretary of the War Office before the Conservatives lost power to Labour in 1929. In his newfound leisure, Cooper took up writing, first publishing a biography of Talleyrand in 1932. The success of his work brought him to the attention of the heirs of Haig's estate who invited Cooper to take on a full-length biography. Although the work brought him additional financial success when it appeared in two volumes in 1936 and 1937, many criticized the work as being too sympathetic to Haig, who in later years was denounced by historians as "Butcher Haig" for the two million British casualties suffered during the First World War. Provenance: Duff Cooper (bookplate) – Sotheby's, 14 December 1992, lot 283.
