False and absurd

Sir: Alastair Forbes's review of David Dut- ton's book on Anthony Eden (Books, 14/21 December) contrived to be largely about himself and scarcely deserved comment. However, for the record I should point out that he seemed to be unaware that Fulke Warwick was Eden's nephew. They always maintained a close family link and Forbes's little attempted smear was therefore totally false and absurd.
