SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This book assesses Lloyd George's attempt to shape the history of 1914-18 through his War Memoirs. Yet as War Minister and Prime Minister Lloyd George presided over the bloody offensives of 1916-17, and had earlier taken a leading role in mobilising industrial resources to provide the weapons which made them possible.
