Originally published in 1971, this book traces the revival, triumph, division and decline of the British Liberal Party in the late 19th & 20th centuries. It does so by focusing on the career of David Lloyd George, itself the decisive agent for change in this period. The first part of the book is an extended critical essay; the second part consists of primary documentary material which is intimately linked to the commentary in the first section. The major phases of the period are covered: The tension between the Old Liberalism and the New; the challenges confronting the Liberal government of 1905-15; the impact of world war and Lloyd George’s wartime premiership; the Lloyd George coalition in 1918-22 and the reasons for its downfall; and the slow decline of the Liberals between 1922 and 1929.

A Welshman among the English, a nonconformist among Anglicans and a self-made man in the patrician corridors of power, David Lloyd George, the last Liberal Prime Minister of Great Britain, was the founding father of the Welfare State and was as great a peacetime leader as Churchill was in war. In this fascinating biography of an authentic radical, Roy Hattersley charts the great reforms - the first old age pension, sick pay and unemployment benefit - of which Lloyd George was architect, and also sheds light on the complexities of a man who was both a tireless champion of the poor, and a restless philanderer who was addicted to living dangerously.

The second volume of John Grigg's biography of Lloyd George describes the most exciting and fruitful phase of his life before the outbreak of the First World War. It was during these years that Lloyd George developed from being the liveliest of Opposition back-benchers to the most dynamic and controversial member of the great Liberal government. But as well as the central political dramas there are many other sub-plots, including his conflict with the suffragettes - and his difficulties with the other women in his life. It is an extraordinarily vivid portrait of the outstanding figure of the age.

John Grigg's four volume life of Lloyd George is one of the great political biographies. This, the final volume, opens with Lloyd George's succession to the Premiership in December 1916, when Britain faced starvation and defeat through the German U-boat campaign, its allies France, Russia and Italy were tottering, the Liberal Party was bitterly divided and unrest in Ireland was growing. Worst of all, military chiefs regarded themselves as at least the equals of the government. To resolve these crises required ruthlessness, political genius and leadership of the highest order. In this thrilling book we see one of Britain's most resourceful Prime Ministers in brilliant action, steering his country to victory.It is a tragedy John Grigg didn't live to complete his magnum opus but what exists is a masterpiece. Faber Finds is reissuing the four volumes: The Young Lloyd George, Lloyd George: The People's Champion 1902-1911, Lloyd George: From Peace to War 1912-1916, Lloyd George: War Leader 1916-1918.'With the volume, Grigg crowns the edifice of one of the great biographies of our time.'Anthony Howard - Sunday Times'A fitting climax to a path-breaking study.'John Campbell, Independent, Books of the Year'Superb... the fullest account we shall ever have of Lloyd George's career as a wartime Prime Minister. It is a fascinating story and is told with panache, vigour, clarity and impartiality by a great biographer... brings out as never before the brilliance of Lloyd George's finest hour.'Robert Blake, Evening Standard'A major publishing event... Grigg mingles factual precision, high-interest value and judgements which are mostly as wise as they are forthright.'Roy Jenkins, Sunday Telegraph, Books of the Year'Gripping... essential... This wonderful biography, clear and authoritative, every page a lesson in how to write narrative history, well up to its preceding volumes, recreates both a time of acute national danger and an extraordinary man.'Max Egremont, Financial Times

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2004 im Fachbereich Geschichte Europas - Zeitalter Weltkriege, Note: 2,3, Universität Konstanz (Fachbereich Geschichte), Veranstaltung: Erster Weltkrieg, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Lloyd George ist ohne Zweifel bis heute einer der umstrittensten und meist diskutierten Persönlichkeiten Englands. Als Vertreter des walisischen Volkstammes musste Lloyd George immer wieder wesentlichen Grundgesetzten der Lebensart und der Lebensstil des englischen Volkes in Konflikt kommen. Die aus seiner Andersartigkeit einsehenden Gegensätze mussten umso stärker empfunden werden, als aus dem völkischen noch der Unterschied der sozialen Abkunft hinzukam. Dennoch schafft Lloyd George als „No Name“ den Weg in die Politik und schon bald beeinflusste er mit seiner Art, Charakter und Stil, die Bevölkerung und vor allem die Politik. Er kämpfte sich bis zur Spitze der englischen Führung durch und konnte am Ende seine Prinzipien, doch nicht verwirklichen. In dieser Arbeit soll die Frage gestellt sein, wie stark beeinflusste Lloyd George die Politik Englands, besonders in der Zeit vor und während des Ersten Weltkrieges? In diesem Bezug soll noch geklärt werden welch Auswirkungen sein Handeln auf die Friedensverhandlungen in Versailles hatte.

John Grigg's four volume life of Lloyd George is one of the great political biographies. Volume 2, The People's Champion 1902-1911, in the author's own words 'carries the story on to the zenith of his whole career before the Great War. By the end of 1911 he had already achieved far more than be claimed for most politicians in a lifetime. . . . The period covered here is one of intense controversy and acrimony, in which Lloyd George's speeches attacking the Conservative Party and its lordly backers are among the finest examples of polemical oratory in the English language.' The central drama is the constitutional conflict surrounding Lloyd George's 1909 Budget, the People's Budget, which was such a powerful tool of social reform. There is much more besides, not least vivid portrayals of his relations with Asquith and Winston Churchill. The latter, again in John Grigg's own words 'was Lloyd George's closest colleague in two ways: they worked together on major reforming projects, and both were men of genius. .. .They also enjoyed each other's company and had a strong affinity of temperament. ' This volume won the Whitbread Prize. It is a tragedy John Grigg didn't live to complete his magnum opus but what exists is a masterpiece. Faber Finds is reissuing the four volumes: The Young Lloyd George, Lloyd George: The People's Champion 1902-1911, Lloyd George: From Peace to War 1912-1916, Lloyd George: War Leader 1916-1918. 'A delight to read and a contribution to our political history of the greatest importance. Above all, it does justice to David Lloyd George, the greatest British statesman of the twentieth century.' A. J. P. Taylor, Observer 'John Grigg is a biographer who loves his subject and captures him with artistry - a pleasure to read. He has given us the most intimate and subtly drawn portrait we have ever had of this remarkable man.' Paul Addison, New Statesman 'The book succeeds admirably. Its proportions are exactly right, and it is written with a dynamism worthy of its subject.' Stephen Koss, Times Literary Supplement 'A masterly biography ... .. it is unlikely that it will be superseded.' Robert Blake, Sunday Times
