Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book follows the life of David Lloyd George, a Welsh politician who would rise to become Prime Minister of Great Britain during World War I. Rooted in a passion for Welsh devolution, he supported home rule for Ireland as a means of strengthening his case. Throughout his time in parliament, he railed against the Church of England in Wales, accusing it of corruption and proselytism. He argued that Nonconformist chapels, while better attended, were not receiving the economic benefits of the state-funded Church. These issues brought him into conflict with the political establishment, galvanizing Welsh nationalism and contributing to the eventual disestablishment of the Welsh Church in 1920. His vociferous opposition to the sale of alcohol also put him at odds with the government, which had proposed compensation for publicans. His maiden speech in the House of Commons was a powerful rallying cry against the proposal, a moment that cemented his reputation as a formidable orator and earned him respect from across the floor.
