Official synopsis Publisher
In this fresh account of Benjamin Disraeli’s life, Paul Smith looks at his unique character as a fusion of Jewishness and Anglicanism, outsider and insider, nationalist and European, Romantic and Tory; and shows how this formed his “appeal as an original and a card, the most piquant joker in the pack”, a faintly raffish outsider who scaled the highest peaks of public life.
