4.9/5 (34631 ratings)

Description:Henry John Temple (1784-1865), third Viscount Palmerston in the Irish peerage, was an M.P. almost without a break from 1807 to 1865 and held high ministerial office for nearly half a century in the War, Foreign and Home Offices and finally as Prime Minister.Among modern British statesmen only two, Gladstone and Churchill, have sat longer in the Commons, and none has rivalled the length of Palmerston's years in office.Probably unrivalled too were his dedication to hard work, his popularity in the country and his amorous exploits. Inevitably he has attracted a host of biographers. But his story is riddled with myths and misconceptions and the man still remains a puzzle: his vigourous foreign policy represented the power of early-Victorian England abroad, yet his immoral private life confounded the myth of mid-Victorian England at home. With the aid of unrestricted access to the mass of family papers, including private diaries and financial accounts, Kenneth Bourne, in the first of two projected volumes, has explored in greater depth and detail than has hitherto been possible both Palmerston's earlier life and his political emergence. Palmerson's family background and education, his search for a parliamentary seat, his long administration of the War Office and his first decade of manipulating foreign policy to the outrage and admiration of his cabinet colleagues are all examined in rich and fascinating detail, as are the financial difficulties and sexual passions that drove and distracted him.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
