On the one hand, this book, which relates the tale of the last months of the Lloyd George coalition government of the post-World War I era, is quite entertaining, especially with some of the asides written by Lord Beaverbrook. On the other hand, and this is what's responsible for the lower level of the rating, one has to be extremely wary of anything Beaverbrook says, as he was a master manipulator in his time, and this book, by which he purports to write history, is no exception. Take the book with a grain of salt. (

4450. The Decline and Fall of Lloyd George, by Lord Beaverbrook [Max Aitken] (read 15 Jun 2008) This is essentially an account of the years 1921 and 1922 in parliamentary Britain. The author was a leading player on the parliamentary scene in those years and he tells of the last years of Lloyd George's power, and of his fall from power. A. Bonar Law succeeded him as Prime Minister, much encouraged by Max Aitken [Lord Beaverbrook]. I usually enjoy parliamentary history, but this was not as attention-holding because it was all told from the viewpoint of one of the players. (
