Description:PITT One of the most eminent of all British statesmen, William Pitt the Younger was born in 1759, he went up to Cambridge aged thirteen with a love of classical literature. In his early days in Parliament he sparred with historians, statesmen and ministers, gaining a reputation as a debater and politician who could challenge the coalition between Whigs and Tories. Pitt watched as France was beset by revolution, but his focus was on domestic affairs. Defeating opponents including Fox and Shelburne, Pitt the Younger was Prime Minister of England for eighteen years, during the reign of King George III. He set in place a regent to rule England while George was mad. Pitt dealt with Ireland throughout his Prime Ministership, attempting to find a solution to the Catholic question in a way many other statesmen would have shirked from handling. He also attended to British tax affairs, oversaw the famous Sinking Fund, and sent expeditions to Australia. Lord Rosebery’s fine biography truly demonstrates that Pitt was ‘the embodiment and watchword of British determination’. PALMERSTON A figure described as “the last candle of the Eighteenth Century”, Lord Palmerston was the great statesman of his era. He served in the War Office in the days of Empire, then in the Foreign and Home Offices before ascending to Prime Minister very late in his life, an office which he held twice. A controversial figure still today, this is the biographical account of a man who shaped the future of the British nation and empire. MR CHURCHILL Churchill was perhaps the greatest British leader of the last hundred years. But how did the man become the Prime Minister who led his country through WWII? ‘Mr Churchill’ is a brilliant portrait of a brilliant man, telling the life-story of the Rt. Hon. Winston S. Churchill, O.M., C.H., from his early years up to his becoming Prime Minister in 1940. It is an inspiring story; and this book directs attention not only to his greatness as a strategist and administrator, but also to his eminence as a historian and writer.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
