About the book
Although from different backgrounds, David Lloyd George and Winston Churchill forged a close friendship, delighting in each other's wit, rhetoric, and unconventionality. 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. Theirs was a deeply personal friendship. Their real shared passion, however, was politics. For 10 years between 1904 and 1914 they met together every day for a private discussion. Lloyd George profoundly influenced Churchill's political philosophy and played a formative role in his career. Drawing on never before seen family archived material, Robert Lloyd George provides an intimate biography of the friendship between his great-grandfather and Churchill, from their public policies to their private passions. He throws fresh light on the two greatest statesmen of 20th century Britain in peace and in war, and on one of the most enduring friendships in modern politics. - Jacket flap.
