There is no record what Asquith replied or what, in his inmost mind, a region difficult to penetrate under the best of circumstances, he thought on this crucial question.
The author reflects on the uncertainty surrounding Asquith's thoughts and responses during a critical moment in history. The lack of documentation means that we are left only to speculate about his true feelings and intentions, especially given the complexity of decision-making during such tumultuous times.
This absence of clear evidence underscores the challenges historians face in interpreting events and motivations, particularly in high-stakes situations. Asquith's perspective remains elusive, highlighting the difficulties in accessing the inner workings of a leader's mind when confronted with pivotal choices.
