Praise for James Chambers’ Palmerston: The People’s
Darling:
‘A rollicking biography, weaving raunchy with realpolitik,
told with the bold swagger of Palmerston himself’
SIMON SEBAG MOTEFIORE, Daily Telegraph
‘Elegant, ironic… even those who would not
normally read political biography will enjoy this one for
the quality of its writing and the exuberance of its hero.’
ANDREW ROBERTS, Sunday Telegraph
‘Accessible, entertaining biography… to be
welcomed for bringing its subject’s colourful character,
and the Victorian world in which it operated, to life.’
TRISTRAM HUNT, BBC History – Books of the Year
