A stirring wartime address that explains why Britain must unite, endure, and act now to win the war.
In this edition, the speaker argues that winning depends on moral resolve, vast resources, and a steady national effort. The talk contrasts preparation with reality, and makes a case for using every tool—industrial, political, and social—to support the war effort.
The message speaks directly to workers, managers, and policymakers, urging patience, cooperation, and decisive action. It addresses the risks of complacency, the dangers of drink, and the need to align all sectors of society in a shared goal.
Ideal for readers of historical speeches and policy-focused writing, who want insight into how leaders framed wartime sacrifice and mobilization.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book contains an address given by the Right Honourable David Lloyd George to his constituents in 1915. Lloyd George discusses the critical situation Britain finds itself in during the first World War. At the time, the British public had not yet fully grasped the magnitude of the war's potential length, nor the scale of the sacrifices that would be required. The speech highlights the disparities in the preparation for war between Britain, Russia, and France compared to their adversaries. Lloyd George emphasizes the urgency of increasing the production of munitions, and raising an army comparable in size to the millions of troops fielded by the enemy. He also details the threat posed by industrial unrest and the necessity to suspend certain labour practices to increase productivity. The author warns of the catastrophic consequences that would follow a German victory, and paints a grim picture of the country's plight should it lose. The speech concludes with a rousing call to arms, urging every individual to contribute to the war effort. Ultimately, this book gives us a valuable glimpse into the challenges faced by Britain during the Great War, and reminds us of the sacrifices made by a generation determined to safeguard freedom and liberty.
