'Truly a pioneering volume - a comprehensive, authoritative study of the history of the Liberal Party in Wales from 1868 until the end of the twentieth century. Thoroughly researched and assembled from an array of disparate source materials, compellingly written, the book fills a distinct gap in the political historiography of modern Wales and Britain.' Dr J. Graham Jones former Head of the Welsh Political Archive 'The Welsh Liberals vividly illustrates the massive fluctuations in the Liberal Party's fortunes in Wales - It is a dramatic political story, succinctly told and well explained.' Dr Alun Wyburn-Powell University of Leicester
