William Pitt the Younger: A Life from Beginning to End
Discover the remarkable life of William Pitt the Younger...
William Pitt the Younger sometimes gets lost in the historical shuffle, overshadowed by his famous father and the drama of Napoleon Bonaparte in France. But few prime ministers in any country have left a deeper mark. Taking office at just 24 years old, making him the youngest prime minister in world history, he spent nearly two decades reshaping Britain's finances and steering it through a war that would define a generation. He might not have been a smooth operator, but he was certainly a shrewd one. He used his political genius to retool the British economy while setting up a naval blockade to strangle the finances of Napoleonic France. In many ways, that all-too-effective blockade was like a physical manifestation of the many barriers he often placed around his own private life.
This book seeks to break through those barriers entirely. It reveals the man, the life, and the legend of William Pitt the Younger in full.

Þessi bók er um yngsta forsætisráðherra Bretlands nokkurn tíma sem gekk vel að stýra heimsveldinu í nær 20 ár 1786-1806. Ágætt yfirlit.
