William Gladstone and Benjamin Disraeli were the fiercest political rivals of the nineteenth century. Their intense mutual hatred was both ideologically driven and deeply personal. Their vitriolic duels, carried out over decades, lend profound insight into the social and political currents that dominated Victorian England. To Disraeli a legendary dandy descended from Sephardic Jews his antagonist was an "unprincipled maniac" characterized by an "extraordinary mixture of envy, vindictiveness, hypocrisy, and superstition." For the conservative aristocrat Gladstone, his rival was "the Grand Corrupter," whose destruction he plotted "day and night, week by week, month by month." In the tradition of Roy Jenkins and A. N. Wilson, Richard Aldous has written an outstanding political biography, giving us the first dual portrait of this intense and momentous rivalry. Aldous's vivid narrative style by turns powerful, witty, and stirring brings new life to the Gladstone and Disraeli story and confirms a perennial truth: in politics, everything is personal. Richard Aldous is in his thirties and is Head of History & Archives at University College, Dublin. Born in Suffolk and educated at Cambridge, he was awarded his doctorate at Christ's College, Cambridge, in 1993. In addition to his brilliantly reviewed life of Malcolm Sargent, Tunes of Glory he has written widely on political history, including two studies of Harold Macmillan: The Last Summiteer and Harold Macmillan and Britain's World Role. He reviews for the Irish Times and is a political analyst for RTE Television. He is married to a musician and they live with their young daughter in County Dublin. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
