'This readable and lively book by the eminent modern historian and Keynes scholar Peter Clarke provides an important insight into 'the historical Keynes,' both academic theorist and public intellectual, by examining the complex relation between truth and expediency in policy advising from Versailles to Bretton Woods and in probability theory.' Robert Dimand, Brock University 'A sparkling and learned exploration of Keynes's beliefs about probability, truth, and expediency.' Richard Toye, University of Exeter 'By presenting material in a new way Clarke manages to shed new light on a subject on whom a vast literature has emerged. … Clarke has successfully performed the difficult task of saying enough that is new to interest specialists in a book that should be accessible to a wide readership.' Roger E. Backhouse, Journal of British Studies
