Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'A Prime Minister and His Son' offers an intimate and scholarly look into the lives and legacies of two prominent figures in British history: John Stuart, the 3rd Earl of Bute, and his son, Lieutenant-General Sir Charles Stuart. Compiled from their extensive private correspondence, this work provides a rare glimpse into the inner workings of the British government during the 18th century, as well as the personal dynamics of a distinguished aristocratic family. The first part of the volume explores the political career and private thoughts of the 3rd Earl of Bute, who served as Prime Minister under King George III. Through his personal letters, readers can trace his political influence and the intense challenges he faced within the corridors of power. The second half of the collection shifts focus to Sir Charles Stuart, a brilliant military commander whose correspondence from the field-particularly during the American War of Independence and the Mediterranean campaigns-offers detailed accounts of strategic maneuvers and the harsh realities of 18th-century warfare. This collection serves as an invaluable primary source for historians and readers interested in the intersection of family legacy and national service. By preserving these personal exchanges, 'A Prime Minister and His Son' illuminates the character, sense of duty, and historical impact of two men who helped shape the trajectory of the British Empire.
