First Published 1974: 100 black and white illustrations of the time. Pits Genealogical Tree on two pages.## ## Appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer at twenty-three, Prime Minister at twenty-four, William Pitt for the precociousness of his rise to power and his role as the nation's leader in the wars against Revolutionary and Napoleonic France. ## ## Pitt's career was a classic case of a son following in the footsteps of a famous father. William Pitt, Earl of Chatham, had also been his King's first minister, and from his earliest childhood, he was raised to carry on his father's political tradition. ## ## Yet the qualities that made Pitt great were very different from those of his flamboyant father. Austere, remote and dedicated to his profession, he never married; Pitt's administrative and financial skills formed the basis for his remarkable achievements. And in the changing world of the late eighteenth century, these were badly needed skills. Within eight years of taking office, Pitt had increased the government's revenue by fifty per cent, attacked jobbery and corruption and launched the economy into a new phase of expansion and prosperity. ## ## The war against Revolutionary France in 1793 was to prove Pitt's tragedy. Not only did it undermine much of his earlier work, but also, in the end, his health and the spectre of revolution in England led him to abandon his earlier reforms and pass a series of highly repressive measures. Yet, as Derek Jarrett shows, the transition was not as contradictory as has often been supposed. He places Pitt's whole career and achievement firmly in the context of his aristocratic eighteenth-century outlook .## ## INTERNATIONAL BUYERS, contact me for a shipping quote to your country; FREE shipping is only available within the United Kingdom. ##, Books<
