For three years I have quarried in the vast papers of the Lloyd George Archives, which now belong to Lod Beaverbrook. There are 1,025 boxes of them, a treasury for a score of books upon our Welfare State, the First World War, the Allied Intervention in Russia, the Irish Republic, the National Home of the Jews, the develiping constituion of the British Empire, the part of the Monarchy in the first fifty years of this tumultuous century of Britain's history. These papers were placed at my disposal. More than two hundred books, many of them written by Lloyd George's own contemporaries, his colleagues, friends and enemies, and others by historians and critics, have also been studied, and the newspaper filoes of the period consulted. There are, too, a host of those who knew Lloyd George personally who have searched their memories of him.
