Review:
From the Back Cover:
‘John Grigg is a biographer who loves his subject and captures him with artistry – a pleasure to read. He has given us the most intimate and subtly drawn portrait we have ever had of this remarkable man’
Paul Addison, New Statesman
This second volume of John Grigg’s highly acclaimed biography of Lloyd George, describes the career of David Lloyd George from 1902 to 1911 – the most exciting and fruitful phase of his life before the outbreak of the First World War.
It was during these years that Lloyd George developed from being the liveliest of Opposition back benchers to the most dynamic and controversial member of a great Liberal government. The central drama is the constitutional conflict surrounding Lloyd George’s 1909 Budget, but there are many fascinating sub plots including his difficulties with the suffragettes and with several individual women. It is an extraordinarily vivid portrait of the outstanding figure of the Edwardian age.
“John Grigg is a biographer who loves his subject and captures him with artistry – a pleasure to read. He has given us the most intimate and subtly drawn portrait we have ever had of this remarkable man.”
PAUL ADDISON, 'New Statesman'
“A masterly biography ... it is unlikely that it will be superseded.”
ROBERT BLAKE, 'Sunday Times'
“The book succeeds admirably. Its proportions are exactly right, and it is written with a dynamism worthy of its subject.”
STEPHEN KOSS, 'Times Literary Supplement'
“Lloyd George has had many biographers, and undoubtedly John Grigg is the brightest, best – and most thorough.”
ASA BRIGGS, 'Guardian'
