A fascinating, provocative, timely reflection from the inside of politics on how Lloyd George's rhetoric, intuition, blarney, and wit often grasped what the professionals missed. And why amateurs can – sometimes at least – save the day.

Superb.

Daily Express

In this deeply researched and intensely readable book, Damian Collins shows the inner man, and how he navigated the great crises of his country, and ultimately of civilization.

Andrew Roberts, author of Churchill: Walking with Destiny

A fascinating book with a gripping narrative... I enjoyed this book enormously and learned a lot.

Tom Bower, author of Boris Johnson: The Gambler

Brilliantly researched. Collins's book gives us a memorable overview of what was being discussed, urgently and sometimes furiously, in the club dining rooms and country house in which Lloyd George dined, his mind always focused on one thing: how to secure total victory.

Daily Mail

Engagingly written and professionally researched.
