This book examines the intrusion of imperialist modes of thought into the domestic politics of the edwardian period and the war years. The author analyzes the fusion of social-imperialist ideology with the lloyd george insurgency in the liberal party and reinforces the hypothesis that european imperialism in this era aligned itself with progressive liberalism to form the chief defense against rising democratic and socialist forces. Major events of the war years such as the collapse of the liberal party and the dispute over war aims are shown to be the products of the continuing conflict between these forces rather than merely the result of the circumstances of war.
