It is based upon many documents hitherto unpublished, and is illumed by intimate private letters from the mass of his own papers, set at the disposal of the author. It deals with his strange, stormy life, public and personal: his firnedships with characters as diverse as Asquith, Bonar Law, Carson, Redmond, Northcliffe, C. P. Scott, Birkenhead, Balfour, Churchill, Snowden, Beaverbrook, Smuts, 'Billy' Hughes, Clemenceau, Woodrow Wilson - and also with his quarrels, at different times, with almost all of them. it tells how Lloyd George, before the First World War, foresaw - and sought to forestill - the rise of the Labour Party in Britain as the challenge from the Left. Here, too, is the full take of the fabulous Lloyd George Fund - and all its consequences. The charater, beliefs, habits, tastes and methods of the man himself are examined frankly. The drama, sometimes melodrama, and occasionally uproarious farce, of Lloyd George's never dull life provides the material for one of the most absorbing, as well as most important, biographies of our time.
