William Pitt, the Younger: A Biography by William Hague |
What a privilege to read the biography of one outstanding politician by another. William Hague brings all his experience and knowledge of how politics worked and works in Britain to bear on the life and endeavours of William Pitt. In fact, both father and son are placed in a broad historical context, fair, objective and knowledgeable. A rare treat, its 592 pages are not daunting, as I had feared, but immensely readable and lively.
