'History shows that the nearer a person gets to the summit of power, the more hazardous they will find the conflicts between the personal attachments, political expediency and their own interpretation of 'the common good'. In FRIENDSHIP AND BETRAYAL, three self-contained stories act together to develop a unifying theme. The first section is about Courtiers: the intense friendship of Sarah Churchill and Queen Anne at the turn of the eighteenth century. Sarah had been Anne's principal friend, advisor and confidant since the future Queen was eight years old and their conflict, when Anne ascends the throne, is dramatic. The second story concerns Revolutionaries: Benjamin Franklin and Joseph Galloway. The final narrative centres on Liberals: H. H. Asquith and R.B. Haldane. nds to disastrous effect.
