Lloyd George fell from power in October 1922, never to hold
office again. As a result he has tended to be written out of the
politics of the 1920s. But John Campbell (in this, his first book,
published in 1977) argues that Lloyd George remained the central
figure on the political stage until 1931: his 'spectre haunted the
Cabinet Room of his successors like Banquo's ghost.' He worked with
Keynes and others to find a remedy for mass unemployment; but the
two-party trap was closing on the Liberals, and a great career was
doomed to end in frustration and disappointment.
'A vivid and sympathetic picture of the greatest British
politician of the twentieth] century. It throws a new light on the
politics of the 1920s, and in particular on the internal politics
of the Liberal Party.' David Marquand, "TLS"
'No praise could be too high for this book.' John Grigg,
"Spectator."
