This A-Z biographical dictionary profiles Britain's prime
ministers, foreign secretaries, home secretaries, and Chancellors
of the Exchequer, from 1730 through the present-all in clear,
concise language. These leaders guided the nation through the loss
of empire, through two devastating world wars, and into a new role
as members of the European Union. In clear, accessible language,
this new dictionary shows how in the 18th century, and to a lesser
extent in the 19th century, many of Britain's top leaders were
linked more closely by family and factional interests than by
party. It also illustrates-and helps to explain-the rise of the
Labour Party and the emergence of "New Labour." Detailed
biographical essays on 198 top British leaders, from William Pitt
to Tony Blair 48 photographs, portraits, and cartoons including
many political cartoons from World War II Chronological list of
leaders by cabinet office-prime ministers, chancellors of the
exchequer, foreign secretaries, and home secretaries An extensive
bibliography and index
