The Lion and the Unicorn by Richard Aldous
Gladstone and Disraeli were the fiercest political rivals of the modern age. To Disraeli, his antagonist was characterised by an 'extraordinary mixture of envy, vindictiveness, hypocrisy and superstition'. For Gladstone, his rival was 'The Grand Corrupter' whose destruction he plotted 'day and night, week by week, and month by month'.
Richard Aldous is in his thirties and is Head of History & Archives at University College, Dublin. Born in Suffolk and educated at Cambridge, he was awarded his doctorate at Christ's College, Cambridge, in 1993. In addition to his brilliantly reviewed life of Malcolm Sargent, Tunes of Glory he has written widely on political history, including two studies of Harold Macmillan: The Last Summiteer and Harold Macmillan and Britain's World Role. He reviews for the Irish Times and is a political analyst for RTE Television. He is married to a musician and they live with their young daughter in County Dublin.
