The latest in the Profiles in Power Series, The Elder Pitt offers a succinct examination of William Pitt, Earl of Chatham (1707-78) who was the leading figure in mid-eighteenth century British politics. He captured the imagination of contemporaries and posterity alike by the spectacular victories over which he presided in the Seven Years War, which brought Britain to unprecedented imperial power. This is valuable reading for anyone interested in British History, 18th Century European history (the Seven Years War) or any examination of Imperialism.
