Title: questionable attention to detail in the preface
Review: Rebecca lived through a lot of interesting things and knew interesting people, so if you're looking to read her letters, this is probably a pretty good collection of nicely typed out copies of them. I would disregard the preface since the editor, Bonnie Scott, has obviously not spent the time on attention to details and solid background information. If you want to read about Rebecca, I would recommend "Rebecca West: a saga of the century" by Carl Rollyson, who spent many hours at our home talking with my father and getting all his facts right over a long period of research.
