Lord Lansdowne: A Biography provides a comprehensive account of the life and political career of Henry Petty-Fitzmaurice, the 5th Marquess of Lansdowne. Written by Thomas Wodehouse Legh Newton, this work explores the influential role Lansdowne played in the British government during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The biography details his service across several high-profile offices, including Governor General of Canada, Viceroy of India, Secretary of State for War, and Foreign Secretary.

Lansdowne was a central figure in shaping British foreign policy, particularly noted for his involvement in the Anglo-Japanese Alliance and the Entente Cordiale with France. The narrative delves into the complexities of Victorian and Edwardian politics, offering insights into the administrative and diplomatic challenges of managing the British Empire at its height. Newton's account provides an essential perspective on the transitions within the British aristocracy and the shifts in international relations leading up to the First World War.
