Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Life of Viscount Rhondda
T is now more than four years since the idea Of writing a book on Viscount Rhondda occurred to me. After reading my work on The War and Wales, he wrote suggesting an interview, which took place the week before he accepted the Presidency of the Local Government Board. Into the Object of that interview I need not enter here but I may say that I then expressed to him my intention of writing a book based on his early days and business life, and he acquiesced. That was at the time when he was a subject rather for blame than for praise before his name had become associated with fruitful legisla tive work, and before it was thought that he could have attained such a measure of greatness. The ashes of industrial controversy, in which he was so much concerned, were still hot. Like other noted men of the past, he seemed to be suffering through the very effectiveness of his own work and success as a business man.
