Edward Arthur Milne: Recollections and reflections, 1976.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/82391833

Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar reviews and analyzes Milne's work in theoretical astrophysics, principally in stellar atmospheres, and especially his disagreement with Arthur Eddington and how that effected his attitude and further investigations. Without devaluing Milne's work, Chandrasekhar maintains that from 1929 onward, Milne's investigations were colored by his negative attitude toward nearly every theory Eddington developed.
