Professor Wrigley, an authority on Lloyd George's relationship with
the Labour Movement, has produced a brief life of Lloyd George
which draws on both the vast literature on him and on the main
archival collection.
Professor Wrigley assesses the main features of Lloyd George's
career beginning with his early days when he established a major
reputation as a fiery Radical concerned with Welsh political and
social issues in North Wales in the 1880s and 1890s. He then
discusses the social reform strand in Lloyd George's career up to
the First World War. A third theme is Lloyd George's attitude to
Britain's foreign policy, including the waging of war in South
Africa (1899-1902) and on the continent of Europe and elsewhere
during the First World War (1914-1918). He considers Lloyd George's
reputation as the maker of peace and the main architect of
reconstruction after the First World War. The final theme is Lloyd
George's search for new causes and for electoral support after his
fall from the premiership in 1922.
Professor Wrigley surveys the biographical writing on Lloyd George
and concludes this book with an attempt to assess this most elusive
and mercurial of major British figures of this century.
