Description
Benjamin Disraeli was a gifted parliamentarian and superb orator, writer and wit, but how much do we really know about the man behind his words? This book offers a fresh perspective on Disraeli's life, challenging the myths that have built up around him.
The authors, Douglas Hurd and Edward Young, argue that there was a significant gap between the real Disraeli and the image he created after his death. They take a lively and engaging approach to exploring his political career, revealing unexpected contradictions and paradoxes.
Through their study of Disraeli's character, the authors provide an unflinching look at the complexities of his life, making for an enjoyable and thought-provoking read.
