CHURCHILL (WINSTON)
Footnotes
Inscribed to Churchill's friend and political ally Lord Lloyd, whose biographer noted that "the causes which he championed: the Empire, rearmament, opposition to the India Bill and to Hitler, were all later taken up by Winston Churchill" (John Charmley, Lord Lloyd and the Decline of the British Empire, 1987, p.1). Having worked closely on the India Defence League earlier in the 1930s, with the rise of the German threat Lloyd wrote to Churchill in July 1938, "I am rather unhappy at never seeing you nowadays... I hate being divorced from your mind, policy, and plans", prompting an immediate invitation to stay at Chartwell, whereupon "as the crisis deepened, the two men came once more into co-operation" (op cit., p.217). Great Contemporaries includes a chapter devoted to T.E. Lawrence, with whom Lloyd was also a close associate and friend.
Provenance: George Lloyd, Baron Lloyd of Dolobran (1879-1941), presentation inscription from the author; by descent to the present owner.
