David Lloyd George left a profound political legacy, despite being
described by the wife of his successor, Herbert Asquith, as a
'gambler without foresight'. He is, of course, best known as the
Prime Minister who led Britain to victory in World War I, but his
contribution to domestic politics was similarly impressive. As
Chancellor of the Exchequer he introduced pensions and national
insurance against sickness and unemployment, while as Prime
Minister he extended democracy by giving votes to women. Yet Lloyd
George was compromised by his flaws as a human being. Vain, cruel,
capricious and dishonest, at times his notoriously corrupt nature
threatened to damage the British political system. Providing a
unique new perspective on one of the most phenomenally-talented -
but also one of the most phenomenally-flawed - of British Prime
Ministers, this book will be essential reading for anyone
interested in modern British politics and history.
