Archibald Primrose
(5 Sterne; 4 Bewertungen)
Archibald Primrose, 5th Earl of Rosebery, liberal prime minister (1894-1895), wrote this short biography of William Pitt, the Younger (1759-1806), the controversial young prime minister who led Great Britain during the terrible trial of the Napoleonic Wars. Lord Rosebery writes: "From the dead eighteenth century his figure still faces us with a majesty of loneliness and courage. There may have been men both abler and greater than he, though it is not easy to cite them; but in all history there is no more patriotic spirit, none more intrepid, and none more pure." (Pamela Nagami) (9 hr 30 min)

Pitt - defender of England

In many aspects, Pitt resembles Churchill. Aristocracy + democracy seems to work the best. As always, it's a delight to listen to Dr. Nagami. She is THE reader for biography of great men! Dr. Nagami, could you please read "Makers of 19th century " series, which include Lincoln, Von Moltke, Rhodes?
