This book assesses Lloyd George's attempt to shape the history of
1914-18 through his War Memoirs. His account of the British conduct
of the war focused on the generals' incompetence, their obsession
with the Western Front, and their refusal to consider alternatives
to the costly trench warfare in France and Belgium. Yet as War
Minister and Prime Minister Lloyd George presided over the bloody
offensives of 1916-17, and had earlier taken a leading role in
mobilising industrial resources to provide the weapons which made
them possible. Rewriting the First World War examines how Lloyd
George addressed this paradox.
