Description: "Benjamin Disraeli, an enigmatic and exotic figure in Victorian England, a brilliant and modern politician, is Victoria's best known Prime Minister. A master of political strategy, he had a strong influence on British twentieth-century politics and colonial policy. Robert Blake's definitive biography of Disraeli has been acclaimed by scholars, reviewers, and statesmen on both sides of the Atlantic. A vivid and scholarly account of Disraeli, it also presents a lively portrait of the Victorian Age, the political, social and cultural background against which Disraeli played the political game with such zest." --
