What is War Memoirs of David Lloyd George, Vol 6, 1918 about?

Lloyd George's Memoirs are among the most significant first-hand accounts of the First World War, by one of the titanic figures of the era.The Memoirs "are a remarkable achievement, which bear comparison with Churchill's later. Based on a vast array of private materials, in them Lloyd George refought the old battles of wartime with zest, to confound critics and justify himself. There are vivid portraits of individuals such as Grey, Kitchener, and Wilson, and many brilliant insights. The purpose was in large measure polemical, to heap criticism on Haig, Robertson, Jellicoe, and other old adversaries, to argue the case relentlessly for a more peripheral military strategy, and to denounce the sterile bloodbath of the trenches. These volumes are central to the long, ongoing debate on the strategy and ethics of the First World War. They were also implicitly arguing the case for a totally different approach towards Germany and international affairs in the 1930s. Their purpose was the present as much as the past" (ODNB).
