Excerpt from The Real Lloyd George
Mr. Lloyd George is one of the most dramatic figures that has ever taken the stage of British politics. All eyes are on him all the time. No whisper from him is missed.
We were at war. At the hands of a little nation the greatest Empire was sustaining astounding reverses. Our famous generals were being beaten by farmers. The blood of our fighting-men was flowing in rivers. Each day brought its awful casualty lists and fresh horrors of defeat and capture. Our people staggered under amazement and dismay. Men moved with set faces under a black cloud.
And then... from the back of the stage there rushed forward a man who actually blessed our enemies, and helped them against us; a man who made speeches in praise of the men whose rifles were bringing misery to every street.
That was the coming of Mr. Lloyd George.
