Productbeschrijving

James Chambers pays particular attention to the politician's early years, showing how his "scandalous" private life and his long, frustrating apprenticeship at the War Office played their parts in turning the diffident "Lord Cupid" into the notorious over-confident "Lord Pumicestone". Instinctive and headstrong, he horrified his Cabinet colleagues with his brinkmanship. The apparent champion of the underdog and a pioneer in the exploitation of public opinion, "the people's darling" became England's most popular and powerful politician since the elder Pitt. Even at the end of his career, Palmerston retained the nonchalance that had epitomised the bucks and dandies of his Regency youth. His levity irritated the redoubtable Queen Victoria, but a more astute observer, Florence Nightingale, saw through it. "He was," she said, so much more in earnest than he appeared.
