David Lloyd George

Paperback edition of Hattersley's acclaimed and authoritative biography of the complex radical politician, who was both a tireless champion of the poor and a restless philanderer, addicted to living dangerously. He was one of the most significant and remarkable political personalities of the 20th century. It was a Book of the Year in both the "Telegraph" and "New Statesman". *Also appeared in August Buyer's Notes*

A Welshman among the English, a nonconformist among Anglicans and a self-made man in the patrician corridors of power, David Lloyd George, the last Liberal Prime Minister of Great Britain, was the founding father of the Welfare State and was as great a peacetime leader as Churchill was in war. In this fascinating biography of an authentic radical, Roy Hattersley charts the great reforms - the first old age pension, sick pay and unemployment benefit - of which Lloyd George was architect, and also sheds light on the complexities of a man who was both a tireless champion of the poor, and a restless philanderer who was addicted to living dangerously.
