Clive Pearson takes us on an engaging whirlwind tour of the
fifty-three men and three women who have so far held the office of
Prime Minister. We discover how they got to the top of the greasy
pole and assess their performance once in power. Perhaps more
importantly, we find out what lasting influence they have had on
our lives today. The author also offers up entertaining
little-known facts about these key players. Eighteenth-century
prime ministers were generally a poor lot, often beset by health
problems such as gout and apoplectic fits; later, one
nineteenth-century premier spent his evenings prowling the streets
at night looking for prostitutes to 'reform'. This book casts a
light on this colourful cast of characters, and offers an
entertaining and accessible introduction to those who over the last
three centuries have held the highest office in the land.
