This text examines the rise to power of William Pitt, the Younger (1759-1806), Britain's youngest head of government, and explores how he achieved this.
The Younger Pitt was a phenomenon: dead at 46, he was not only Britain''s youngest but also the second longest-serving Prime Minister to date, acting as premier for 19 of his 25 years in Parliament. In examining this astonishing career, this incisive Profile focuses on the means by which Pitt gained and maintained his hold on power. It provides new information on Pitt''s relations with the strong-willed George III; on the nature of his ascendancy over his cabinet colleagues; his management of Parliament; his skill as a manipulator of public opinion; his role in Britain''s international resurgence after the loss of America; and, of course, on the long struggle against Revolutionary and Napoleonic France.
