Notes Introduction 1. Anniker Mom bauer, Helmuth von Moltke and the Origins o(the First World War (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2001), p. l. 2. A line argued recently, for example, by Niall Ferguson in The Pity o( War (London: Penguin, 1998). 3. A 'breakthrough' or 'breakout' of the type envisaged by Douglas Haig never occurred, however, even in 1918. 4. 'King Albert Iof Belgium I, King George, the Kaiser and Poincare !President of France! were the only rulers who saw it through from the beginning to the end.' David Lloyd George, War Memoirs, 6 vols (London: lvor Nicholson & Watson, 1933-:{6), VI, pp. vii-viii. Hereafter War Memoirs and vol. no. 5. Many reviewers of the War Mrmoirs commented critically upon Lloyd George's attacks on the generals in their reviews of earlier volumes. In reply, Lloyd George provided in the sixth and final volume a li st of the generals and admirals that he had praised. Noticeably absent were the two successive British Commanders-in-Chief of the BEF, French and Haig, and any of the First Sea Lords or Commanders of the Grand Fleet. See ibid., p. xi. 6. Except in so far as he did not remove Haig or order him to stop during the latter stages of Third Ypres. A fairly big exception I will argue. See ch. 7. 7. Thus in a literal sense the question sometimes posed regarding the War Memoirs- was Lloyd George 'pamphleteering' rather than writing a serious contribution to history - must be answered in the affirmative. 8.

For a sample of reviews, see pp. 195- 98; elsewhere, for a good survey of reviewer's reception of the War Memoirs, see George W. Egerton, 'The Lloyd George War Memoirs: A Study in the Politics of Memory', Journal of Modern History, 60, 1, March 1988, pp. 78-86.

Successively, the War Council, the Dardanelles Committee, the War Committee and the War Cabinet. 3. Winston S. Churchill, The World Crisis, 6 vols (London: Thornton and Butterworth, 1923-31). Churchill's The Second World War, 6 vols (London: Cassell, 1948-54), is, as Egerton suggests, a better comparison: 'War Memoirs', p. 86. 4. See, for example, A.j.P. Taylor (ed.), Lloyd George: A Diary by Frances Stevenson (London: Hutchinson, 1971), p. 264. 5. One reviewer thought it 'amazing that a man commencing author [sic] in his seventieth year should have written a million words, every letter of them stamped with his own personality'; Times Literary Supplement, review of volume VI , 28 November 1936, p. 981. 6. Colin Cross (ed.), Life with Lloyd George: The Diary of A .f. Sylvester (London: Macmillan, 1975), p. 109. 7. For example, see Paul johnson in the New Statesman, where he describes the War Memoirs as 'unreadable' and 'unread'; 19 September 1969. 8. Egerton, 'War Memoirs' , p. 66. Egerton's appraisal is shared by other historians, for example Kenneth Morgan: 'Lloyd George's memoirs, as source material and as literature, have stood the test of time far more successfully than have many such essays in self-justification, better than Churchill's writings on the 1914-18 war, and perhaps on the 1939-45 war as well'; Kenneth 0. Morgan, Lloyd George (London: Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 1974), p. 211. 9. Times Literary Supplement, review of volume V, 26 September 1936. 10. Daily Mail, 26 October 1934. 11. Egerton, 'War Memoirs', pp. 84-5. 12. Quoted in Thomas jones, Lloyd George (London: Oxford University Press, 1951), pp. 269. 13. Ibid. Liddell Hart, on his experience in advising Lloyd George on the Memoirs , observed, 'I had arguments with LG that were almost as violent as those with his opponents, and regard him as a brilliant prosecuting counsel rather than a historian'; Liddell Hart Centre for Military Archives (LHCMA) Liddell Hart MSS I /312/78: Liddell Ha rt to Professor Norman Gibbs, 28 january 1958. 206 Notes 14.

Frances Stevenson noted in September 1934: 'Today is published Vol. Ill of the War Memoirs. D. is very satisfied, as is also Ivor Nicholson- 6,000 advance copies (more than double previous vols.)', Stevenson Diary, p. 278. 16. Details in Egerton, 'War Memoirs', p. 79. 17. National Library of Wale5 (NLW) A.j. Sylvester MSS (hereafter Sylvester MSS): uncatalogued, 'Beginning', no date. At the time I consulted these papers they were uncatalogued, happily this is no longer the case. 18.

Although it was probably not the 'National Government' he would have wanted; on Lloyd George and the formation of the National Government, see Philip Williamson, National Crisis and National Govemment: British Politics, the Economy and Empire 1926-1932 (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1992), pp. 275-76, 354-55. 27. There were, however, subsequent attempts to include Lloyd George in the Government. See, for example, the exchange of letters between Liberal candidate Captain Frederick Boult, MacDonald and Sylvester. Boult suggested to MacDonald that Lloyd George be invited to join the Government and MacDonald seemed to take him seriously: 'Do you think there is the least chance of his accepting·' It would be a colossal blunder to give him the chance of boasting that he had been approached and had refused.' Lloyd George, however, was not interested, and did not reply to Boult personally. Boult concluded the exchange on an optimistic note: 'Mr Lloyd George did not see me, or reply personally to my letter. I enclose the correspondence in case you care to sec it. Personally I still think that he would take on the job if he were asked'; MacDonald MSS PRO 30/69/1177: correspondence, 13 October-2 November 19:12. 28. War Memoirs, I, p. viii. 29.

In Defence of the Alterfactual in Historical Analysis In recent years a small number of so-called ‘counterfactual’ or ‘what-if’ historical books, which ask us to imagine what would have happened if events in the past had turned out differently than they did, have been published. They have stimulated an important, albeit not entirely new, methodological debate about issues and questions which are (or should be) of central relevance to the work of socialist historians, and which such historians need to engage with and contribute towards. This brief discussion article attempts to do this by presenting one particular Marxist viewpoint, with the hope and expectation others (hopefully supportive but possibly critical of the argument presented here) will follow. In the process, it examines the past use (and abuse) of the counterfactual within historical analysis, presents an argument for the validity of a refined and renamed ‘alterfactual’ approach, and examines the use of such an alterfactual approach to the British miners’ strike of 1984-5.

    How Will the Coalition End? Cameron and Clegg May Look to the Precedent Set by the 1945 Caretaker Government

    How will the coalition end? Cameron and Clegg may look to the precedent set by the 1945 caretaker government blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandpolicy/how-will-it-end-the-precedent-for-a-caretaker-government-at-the-end-of-the- coalition/ 5/8/2013 Alun Wyburn-Powell provides a historical account of the 1945 caretaker government and argues that it provides a useful model for thinking about when the current coalition might end. Whilst obviously very different situations, there is good logic in parting some months prior to the start of the 2015 campaign for both the LibDems and Tories. It would allow a bit more freedom for the parties to maneuver and might neutralize Labour’s attempt to attack the coalition. Nick Clegg and David Cameron’s press conference in the Rose Garden at 10 Downing Street was the image which characterised the start of the current coalition in May 2010. At that time many people believed that the government was unlikely to last the full parliamentary term. Now, past the halfway mark, most think that it probably will. History is on the side of the coalition surviving to the end. The Lloyd George coalition lasted for six years, in war and peace, from 1916 to 1922. The National Government lasted nine years from 1931 to 1940 and the most recent example, Churchill’s all-party Second World War coalition, lasted five years from 1940 to 1945. Assuming that it does last, how could the current coalition be brought to a neat conclusion, so that the parties do not end up fighting each other in an election campaign, while still in government together? The example of the Caretaker Government at the end of the last coalition in 1945 offers a precedent.

Excessive drunkenness, not alcoholism per se, was the primary concern of the two parliamentary parties. When Lloyd George entered Parliament the two major parties were the Liberals and the Conservatives. Temperance was neither a problem that Parliament sought to~;;lv~~ nor the single issue of Lloyd George's public career. Rather, temperance remained within a flux of political squabbling between the two parties and even among the respective blocs within each Party. Inevitably, compromises had to be made between the dissenting factions. The major temperance controversy in Parliament was the issue of compensation. Both Parties agreed that the problem of excessive drunkenness was rooted in the excessive number of public houses throughout Britain.

    Common Place: Rereading ‘Nation’ in the Quoting Age, 1776-1860 Anitta C. Santiago Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Anitta C. Santiago All rights reserved ABSTRACT Common Place: Rereading ‘Nation’ in the Quoting Age, 1776-1860 Anitta C. Santiago This dissertation examines quotation specifically, and intertextuality more generally, in the development of American/literary culture from the birth of the republic through the Civil War. This period, already known for its preoccupation with national unification and the development of a self-reliant national literature, was also a period of quotation, reprinting and copying. Within the analogy of literature and nation characterizing the rhetoric of the period, I translate the transtextual figure of quotation as a protean form that sheds a critical light on the nationalist project. This project follows both how texts move (transnational migration) and how they settle into place (national naturalization). Combining a theoretical mapping of how texts move and transform intertextually and a book historical mapping of how texts move and transform materially, I trace nineteenth century examples of the culture of quotation and how its literary mutability both disrupts and participates in the period’s national and literary movements. In the first chapter, I engage scholarship on republican print culture and on republican emulation to interrogate the literary roots of American nationalism in its transatlantic context. Looking at commonplace books, autobiographies, morality tales, and histories, I examine how quotation as a practice of memory impression functions in national re-membering.

Doctor of Philosophy (Modern European History), December, 1987, 294 pp., 250 titles. This dissertation attempts to determine what Britain expected from participation in the Supreme Economic Council (SEC) of the 1919 Paris Peace Conference and to what extent its expectations were realized. An investigation of available sources reveals that access to European markets and raw materials and a balance of power to prevent French, German, or Russian hegemony in Europe were British foreign policy goals that SEC delegates sought to advance. Primary sources for this study include unpublished British Foreign Office and Cabinet records, published British, United States, and German government documents, unpublished personal papers of people directing SEC efforts, such as David Lloyd George, Austen Chamberlain, Cecil Harmsworth, Harry Osborne Mance, and John Maynard Keynes, and published memoirs and accounts of persons who were directly or indirectly involved with the SEC. Secondary accounts include biographies and histories or studies of the Peace Conference and of countries affected by its work. Primarily concerned with the first half of 1919, this dissertation focuses on British participation in Inter-allied war-time economic efforts, in post-war Rhineland control, in the creation of the SEC, and in the SEC endeavors of revictualling Germany, providing food and medical relief for eastern Europe, and reconstructing European communications.
