Roy Jenkins Knihy

Čtivý portrét z pera předního britského historika a životopisce líčí životní osudy jedné z klíčových osobností britské politické scény minulého století. William Gladstone vstoupil jako poslanec na britskou politickou scénu už v roce 1832. Původně byl konzervativcem, ale jako stoupenec politiky svobodného obchodu přešel k liberálům, jejichž vůdcem se stal v šedesátých letech. V různých vládách působil jako ministr už od čtyřicátých let, až posléze mezi lety 1868-1894 po čtyřikrát zastával funkci předsedy vlády. Gladstoneův důraz na morální rozměr politiky se projevoval nejen na domácí půdě, ale i v zahraniční politice.
