Lord Beaverbrook was fundamentally a lonely man, with a low sense of his own self-worth, who was incapable of forming a stable, loving relationship with anyone. He could charm or he could bully; he could give or he could take; he was glad to see his guests arrive and pleased to see them go.

No wonder he was so restless, so impatient, so vindictive, so quick to lose his temper, so eager to stir things up.
