The best political biography of the year' Jonathan Sumption,
Spectator 'Wonderful . . . A Life so nearly complete it need never
be written again' Ferdinand Mount, Times Literary Supplement By the
author of the Orwell Prize-winning Citizen Clem Damned in
coruscating verse by Shelley and Byron, his coffin hissed at during
his funeral, Lord Castlereagh has one of the blackest reputations
in British history. But as John Bew shows, this is but a half-drawn
portrait. His gripping biography reveals a shy, inarticulate but
passionate man; a towering political figure of implacable
principles who redrew the map of Europe, fought a duel with a
cabinet colleague and would tragically take his own life amid
rumours of scandal and madness.
