Reseña del editor:
The artist Rex Whistler (1905 1944) was frequently in love, always with beautiful women, and seldom happily. In this book Hugh and Mirabel Cecil, authors of the acclaimed biography In Search of Rex Whistler (2012), trace the artist's romantic life and also his years with the Welsh Guards in the Second World War, until his tragic death, aged thirty-nine, in battle in France. Love and War, like its companion volume Family, Friends, Landscapes, includes numerous previously unpublished illustrations, many from private collections.
