A lively, authoritative biography of one of the towering figures in
British history who became Prime Minister at the age of
twenty-four, written by the youngest-ever leader of the Tory Party.
Prime Minister in 1783 deeply underestimated and completely
beleaguered. Yet he annihilated his opponents in the General
Election the following year and dominated the governing of Britain
for twenty-two years, nearly nineteen of them as Prime Minister. No
British politician since then has exercised such supremacy for so
long. brought about the union with Ireland, and directed, and was
ultimately consumed by], the years of debilitating war with France.
Domestic crises included unrest in Ireland, deep division in the
royal family, the madness of the King and a full-scale naval
mutiny. He enjoyed huge success, yet died at the nadir of his
fortunes, struggling to maintain a government beset by a thin
majority at home and military disaster abroad; he worked, worried
and drank himself to death.Finally, his story is told with the
drama, wit and authority it deserves
