New York: Knopf, 2005. First edition. Cloth. Fine/Fine. 557pp., Bibliography, Index. Illus. No remainder marks. Clean crisp interior. "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 ho 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 polotician since has exercised such supremacy for so long." (from jacket text).
