Lloyd George and Churchill - How Friendship Changed Politics

Book by Rintala Marvin

Few people know of the close friendship between two of the most powerful men in British politics: David Lloyd George, leader of the British Liberal Party and Prime Minister during World War I, and Winston Churchill, who deserted the Liberal Party for the Conservatives before becoming Prime Minister himself. Marvin Rintala shows how their long association survived political differences and played a crucial rote in British policy making in the first half of the twentieth century. Using the Lloyd George-Churchill friendship as a case study, Rintala makes a unique argument for the role that friendship plays in politics.
