LLoyd George and Churchill

Más información sobre el libro

The two most significant British political figures of the twentieth century, Churchill and Lloyd George were political rivals but personal friends. Althought they could not have been more different temperamentally, and often disagreed violently about politics, theirs was the longest political friendship in the life of Great Britain. Richard Toyes book is a dynamic account of their relationship. Drawing on diaries and letters, some never before published, he explores their long-standing friendship and rivalry, the impact they had on each others careers, and the fate of their respective reputations, arguing that Lloyd Georges major achievements have been undeservedly overshadowed, in part as a consequence of Churchills later mythmaking.
