David & Winston

How the Friendship Between Lloyd George and Churchill Changed the Course of History

ebook
1 of 1 copy available
This "splendid book" recounts the relationship between twentieth-century Britain's two great wartime prime ministers (The Spectator).
Both were outsiders. Neither attended university. Above all, both loved political sparring—often together, in the epic parliamentary battles of the start of the century. Winston Churchill and David Lloyd George shared a deeply personal friendship.
For ten years between 1904 and 1914 they met every day for a private discussion. Lloyd George profoundly influenced Churchill's political philosophy and played a formative role in his career. Drawing on unseen family archive material, Robert Lloyd George provides an intimate biography of the friendship between his great-grandfather and Churchill, from their public politics to their private passions. He throws fresh light on the two greatest statesmen of twentieth century Britain in peace and in war, and on one of the most enduring friendships in modern politics.
