In the second volume of John Grigg's biography, Lloyd George moves from being the liveliest opposition back bencher to the most dynamic and controversial member of a grand Liberal government. The central drama is the constitutional conflict surrounding Lloyd George's 1909 budget, but there are many subplots including his difficulties with the suffragettes and with several individual women.
