Fifty-two men and one woman have held the post of Prime Minister
during the past three centuries - from Sir Robert Walpole to David
Cameron. In this omnibus edition, which includes Eighteenth-Century
British Premiers, Nineteenth-Century British Premiers, A Century of
Premiers, plus new and updated chapters on Tony Blair, Gordon Brown
and David Cameron, Dick Leonard recounts the circumstances which
took them to the top of the 'greasy pole', probes their political
and personal strengths and weaknesses, assesses their performance
in office and asks what lasting influence they have had. The author
also recounts fascinating and often littleknown facts about the
private lives of each of the Prime Ministers, for example who was
suspected of being the illegitimate half-brother of George III, who
was assassinated in the House of Commons, who spent his evenings
prowling the streets of London, trying to 'reform' prostitutes,
which two premiers, one Tory one Labour, were taught by the same
governess as a child, and who was described by his own son as
'probably the greatest natural Don Juan in the history of British
politics'?
