Benjamin Disraeli joined William Gladstone in the House of Commons
in 1837. A few years later a bitter feud developed between the two
men and it lasted until Disraeli's death in 1881. During this time
Disraeli, for the Conservatives, was Chancellor of the Exchequer
three times and Prime Minister twice. Gladstone, for the Liberals,
was during his lifetime Chancellor of the Exchequer four times and
Prime Minister also four times. This book analyses the causes of
the feud, and it describes how it developed and the actions of two
of the country's greatest statesmen. Their mutual antipathy was so
great that Gladstone made an excuse not to go to his rival's
funeral. In addition there is a wealth of fascinating information
about them. Among other things this includes an account of
Gladstone's controversial work rescuing prostitutes and his close
friendship with former courtesans. It also describes how Disraeli
wrote his famous novels, and his early disreputable business
activities.
