[EAN: 9780007147199], Gebraucht, guter Zustand, [PU: HarperCollins, London England], NON FICTION BIOGRAPHY POLITICIAN PRIME MINISTER WILLIAM PITT THE YOUNGER, Jacket, Hardback. First Edition. Tiny tear to bottom edge of spine of D/J. William Pitt The Younger was one of the most extraordinary figures in British history, who became Prime Minister in 1783 at the remarkable age of twenty-four. In this lively and authoritiative biography, the author explains the dramatic events and exceptional abilities which allowed extreme youth to be combined with great power. Pitt's personality has always been hard to unravel. Generally thought to be cold and aloof, he was described by friends as the wittiest man they ever knew. By seeing him through the eyes of a politician, William Hague succeeds in explaining Pitt's actions and motives through a series of great national crisis, including the madness of King George III, the impact of the French Revolution and the trauma of the Napoleonic wars. He describes how a man dedicated to peace became Britain's longest-serving war leader, how Pitt the liberal reformer became Pitt the author of repression, and how - though undisputed master of the nationa's finances - he died with vast personal debts. With its richness of characters, including Charles James Fox, Richard Sheridan and Edmund Burke, and set against a backdrop of industrial revolution and global conflict, this is history at its most riveting. Illustrated. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.), Books<
