Lloyd George: The Man and His Story

The author traces the subject's rise from humble origins to national leadership, recounting early success, single-handed political campaigns, bold reform efforts, and the confrontations that defined his career. Chapters explore his impulsive courage, populist appeals, fluctuating tactics and alliances — including cooperation with influential press figures — and his role during national crisis. Personal traits such as humor, religious feeling, and fierce sympathy for the disadvantaged are weighed against political inconsistencies. The narrative balances public achievements and private life and concludes with considerations of his future and an appendix addressing his views on America and the European war.
