Salisbury: Victorian Titan
Description:
Writing with complete access to Salisbury's archive at Hatfield House, as well as using the papers of more than 140 of Salisbury's contemporaries, Andrew Roberts explores every aspect of the man: his marriage for love, his caustic journalism, his distinctive philosophy of Toryism and his depression, ironic humour and dazzling intellect.
Salisbury's was a turbulent fifty-year career, during which he won over Disraeli, destroyed Lord Randolph Churchill, brought Edward VII to heel, wrecked Gladstone's hopes for Irish Home Rule, offered secret deals to Tsar Nicholas II, saw off Otto von Bismarck and saw through Kaiser Wilhelm II.
