Books by Kenneth O. Morgan

Originally published in 1971, this book traces the revival, triumph, division and decline of the British Liberal Party in the late 19th & 20th centuries. It does so by focusing on the career of David Lloyd George, itself the decisive agent for change in this period.

This work inquires into those aspects of the career and ideas of David Lloyd George that have had special relevance to Wales. It deals primarily with his place in the history of modern Wales and the importance of his Welsh background in his career in British and world politics.

This is an integrated range of studies, focussing on Wales, by a long-established, internationally-recognised academic authority and member of the House of Lords, on the advance of democracy and the evolving idea of national identity in modern Britain. Looking back to the impact of change in Europe and the wider world from the 1789 revolution in France onwards, this book covers key personalities such as Lloyd George, the impact of the First World War in Wales, and relates to contemporary debates on Scottish independence and the connections with Europe. It opens up wider issues of open government, foreign policy, the rule of law and and cultural diversity.

Yet already he seems an elusive, almost forgotten figure . .'It is Kenneth Morgan's supreme achievement to rescue Keir Hardie from his status as a sort of mythical figurehead and to present him as a more interesting, complex and credible person. Hardie is brought back to life' A .

Examines about thirty key personalities in the history of the British Labour movement between 1900 and 1987. This book also explores what kind of typology of leadership emerges.
