Oliver Baldwin
Christopher J. Walker
Oliver Ridsale Baldwin, 2nd Earl Baldwin, lived from 1899 to 1958. He has been called 'a grandee of the anti-establishment' and this biography gives him his due place in British life and letters.
He was the elder son of Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, and a cousin of Rudyard Kipling. Like his father, he entered public life, but with a difference: he was a socialist while his father was a conservative. For two years. in 1929-31, father and son faced one another on opposite sides of the Commons, although they always remained on good terms.
