Professor Wrigley assesses the main features of Lloyd George's career beginning with his early days when he established a major reputation as a fiery Radical concerned with political and social issues in North Wales in the 1880s and 1890s. He then discusses the social reform strand in Lloyd George's career up to World War I. A third theme is Lloyd George's attitude to Britain's foreign policy, including the waging of war in South Africa (1899-1902) and on the continent of Europe and elsewhere during World War I (1914-1918). He considers Lloyd George's reputation as the maker of peace and the main architect of reconstruction after World War I. The final theme is Lloyd George's search for new causes and for electoral support after his fall from the premiership in 1922.
