David Lloyd George and the British Labour Movement: Peace and War (Modern Revivals in Economic and Social History)

Professor Wrigley's monograph looks at 20th century British history. Its major subject is the development of the state's role in industrial relations during the first world war. It focuses on the key role of David Lloyd George, and also provides an examination of his earlier relationship with the labour movement and his efforts at conciliation while a cabinet minister in the pre-war liberal governments.
