          A magisterial re-evaluation of Britain's greatest ever foreign secretary by the Orwell Prize-winning author of Citizen Clem

          The best political biography of the year'' Jonathan Sumption, Spectator
          ''Wonderful . . . A Life so nearly complete it need never be written again'' Ferdinand Mount, Times Literary Supplement
          By the author of the Orwell Prize-winning Citizen Clem

          Damned in coruscating verse by Shelley and Byron, his coffin hissed at during his funeral, Lord Castlereagh has one of the blackest reputations in British history. But as John Bew shows, this is but a half-drawn portrait. His gripping biography reveals a shy, inarticulate but passionate man; a towering political figure of implacable principles who redrew the map of Europe, fought a duel with a cabinet colleague and would tragically take his own life amid rumours of scandal and madness.
