William Pitt the Younger is an illuminating biography of one of the great iconic figures in British history: the man who in 1784 at the age of twenty-four became (and so remains) the youngest Prime Minister in the history of England. In this lively and authoritative study, William Hague–himself the youngest political party leader in recent history–explains the dramatic events and exceptional abilities that allowed extreme youth to be combined with great power. The brilliant son of a father who was also Prime Minister, Pitt was derided as a “schoolboy” when he took office. Yet within months he had outwitted his opponents, and he went on to dominate the political scene for twenty-two years (nineteen of them as Prime Minister). No British politician since has exercised such supremacy for so long. Pitt’s personality has always been hard to unravel. Though he was generally thought to be cold and aloof, his friends described him as the wittiest man they ever knew. By seeing him through the eyes of a politician, William Hague–a prominent member of Britain’s Conservative Party–succeeds in explaining Pitt’s actions and motives through a series of great national crises, including the madness of King George III, the impact of the French Revolution, and the trauma of the Napoleonic wars. He describes how a man dedicated to peace became Britain’s longest-serving war leader, how Pitt the liberal reformer became Pitt the author of repression, and how–though undisputed master of the nation’s finances–he died with vast personal debts. With its rich cast of characters, including Charles James Fox, Richard Brinsley Sheridan, Edmund Burke, and George III himself, and set against a backdrop of industrial revolution and global conflict, this is a richly detailed and rounded portrait of an extraordinary political life.

"William Pitt the Younger (28 May 1759? 23 January 1806) was a British politician of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. He became the youngest Prime Minister in 1783 at the age of 24.

Excerpt from War Speeches of William Pitt: The Younger The object of the following selection from the war speeches of the younger Pitt is to bring out certain points of similarity between the present war and that of a century ago, and to call to mind Pitt's clear statement of the issues then involved, his determination not to abandon the struggle till the primary conditions of a lasting peace were attained, and his appeal to his countrymen to endure with stubborn fortitude the sacrifices which this resolve entailed. In many points the parallel between the two wars is remarkably close, but, like all historical parallels, it can easily be pressed too far. Thus, while it is undeniable that the French Governments after 1792 committed the same mistake as the German Government of to-day in attempting to make the world accept their national creed by force of arms, it would be none the less absurd to suggest any comparison at all between the value to mankind of the principles of 1789 and the value to mankind of German Kultur in its modern Prussian dress. England, indeed, had much more natural sympathy with the new democratic ideals of her opponent than with the old dynastic ambitions of her allies, and the series of events that made war inevitable between the nation which had just freed itself from the chains of absolutism and the nation in which constitutional liberty had made its home, is one of the great tragedies of history. The ambition of the present rulers of Germany, again, is the same as Napoleon's - to dominate the world; and they have studied Napoleon's methods to some purpose. They have surpassed him, if not in military genius, at least in military organization and efficiency. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
