The wit and wisdom of Benjamin Disraeli, British statesman and twice Prime Minister of the United Kingdom with a new foreword by Lord Lexden. Disraeli was one of the least orthodox of Prime Ministers. He was an adventurer who fought his way to the top of the greasy pole in a blaze of controversy, and became Queen Victorias favourite statesman. He was a novelist and a wit as well as politician. He was a brilliant orator. Like Byron he was both a romantic and a cynic. His aphorisms have become part of the discourse of political life. This collection is based on his novels, letters and speeches. He was never dull, but he was fundamentally serious behind the firework display, and he had a lasting influence on the course of party history. Seen by some of the founder of one-nation conservatism, Disraeli is today one of the most co-opted political figures of history. For those seeking clarity on Disraelis views, this collection will confound and surprise.
