Professor Wrigley's monograph looks at 20th century British history. Its major subject is the development of the state's role in industrial relations during the first world war. It focuses on the key role of David Lloyd George, and also provides an examination of his earlier relationship with the labour movement and his efforts at conciliation while a cabinet minister in the pre-war liberal governments.

PALGRAVE~MACMILLAN

In reviewing major issues concerning the history of British trade unions in the last two-thirds of the twentieth century, this book discusses many controversial aspects of trade unions. It includes their economic impact (a cause of higher unemployment and lower productivity?) and their influence on government (unelected partners?). The book provides students with an accessible introduction to the recent history of British trade unionism.

Professor Wrigley assesses the main features of Lloyd George's career beginning with his early days when he established a major reputation as a fiery Radical concerned with political and social issues in North Wales in the 1880s and 1890s. He then discusses the social reform strand in Lloyd George's career up to World War I. A third theme is Lloyd George's attitude to Britain's foreign policy, including the waging of war in South Africa (1899-1902) and on the continent of Europe and elsewhere during World War I (1914-1918). He considers Lloyd George's reputation as the maker of peace and the main architect of reconstruction after World War I. The final theme is Lloyd George's search for new causes and for electoral support after his fall from the premiership in 1922.

In this book Chris Wrigley examines one of the most contentious areas of post 1945 British political and economic history. He provides an analysis of trade union development, trade union relations with government and trade union impact on industrial relations and the economy. In setting trade union history in a broad context, Chris Wrigley offers a fresh and succinct reassessment. He draws on a wide range of primary sources, providing material from unfamiliar sources as well as from key documents such as the Donovan Report. He also highlights the changing attitudes within the Conservative Party towards the trade unions. This is a very welcome guide to many controversial issues as well as an important new selection of primary source material. Invaluable for all those studying modern British history, politics and industrial relations.
