Editorial Reviews

Examines how leaders of the British Conservative Party realized as the echoes of World War I were fading that the old world diplomatic system was gone, and they had a grand opportunity to set the course of foreign policy for at least decades into the future. Considers the interlocking themes of traditional and innovative factions, Conservative decision-making, the perpetually loose cannon Lloyd George, coalition politics, and internal developments of the party.
