His Finest Hour?
By December 1916, the British Empire found itself in its most dire situation yet; the war, which should have been short, lengthened; Casualties mounted, its allies wavered, and its leadership seemed questionable.

"Grip, Resolution, and Prompt readiness":Lloyd George in War
The British political world at the outbreak of the First World War was populated with remarkable personalities: Prime Minister Herbert Henry Asquith, Conservative leader Andrew Bonar Law, Lord Kitchener of Khartoum, economist John Maynard Keynes, and of course, about and beyond anyone else, Winston Churchill.First among equal in the cabinet, "a team of ministers as gifted as any in British history" as John Grigg writes (p. 471), was Chancellor of the Exchequer, and future secretary of war and Prime Minister, David Lloyd George.

Meaningful Study of Friendship in Politics
Churchill has always interested me, so this book was a natural. I discovered that definitions of friendship are difficult - in and out of politics. Lloyd George and Churchill had a true and close friendship that was very meaningful to both men and changed their lives and perhaps the lives of many other in the U.K. Rintala brings the reader into the subject matter from the first sentence on page one. He is an exceptionally good writer, at times this book reads like a very good novel. What book did some of the other reviewers read? Certainly not LLOYD GEORGE AND CHURCHILL.

Understanding the minds of great men
For as long as I can remember, I have had an interest in the biographies of great statesmen. I wanted to read about the lives of the men that have changed the world and understand what made them unique, what gave them the ability to be such influential historical figures. But reading about the bare-bones facts of a person's life does not reveal their inner motives; it does not tell the reader what forces drove these men to lead such influential lives. It was not until I read Rintala's book about the friendship between Churchill and Lloyd George that I discovered the missing link: combining psychology with biography. Not only does this book give the reader a fascinating perspective into the relationship between these two men, it tells the reader what forces shaped their personalities. I would recommend this book to anyone who is seriously interested in understanding the lives of two of the most powerful people of the 20th century. If you think you know the lives of Lloyd George or Winston Churchill by reading other biographies, your understanding of these two men will not be complete until you have read this book.

Really REALLY BAD!!!!!
Not only is this the most boring book on the market but it is absolutely ridiculous. Historical facts are completely incorrect,(...)Worst of all, the grammar and vocabulary used in the book are just plain aweful. I have no idea how this book ever got published. Please go get your eyebrows waxed before reading this sad, painful garbage. ... Read more
