When, early in World War II, Winston Churchill replaced Neville Chamberlain as Prime Minister, it was with the help of England’s earlier wartime Premier, David Lloyd George, who emerged for this occasion from the political obscurity of his last twenty years. Now that a second victory and a second peace have fallen, in their turn, on evil days, a peculiar interest attaches to the career of the fiery Welshman who represented England in the first world struggle. This lively, impartial biography relates the phenomenal rise and dramatic eclipse of a remarkable man.

The fearless champion of the unpopular Boers; the energetic proponent of drastic social and financial reforms; the brilliant orator; the fiercely hated and as fiercely admired stormy petrel of prewar British politics—all were fused during the war into the powerful Prime Minister whose unquestioned authority carried him through the Paris Peace Conference.

Thomas Jones witnessed many of the events he describes. He was Deputy Secretary of the British Cabinet during the premierships of Lloyd George, Bonar Law, Baldwin, and MacDonald.
