 “I was curious to read about this man I’d heard of, but knew nothing. The book traces the turbulent rise of Benjamin Disraeli to become Prime Minister of England and confidant of Queen Victoria. It gives an excellent view of politics in all its hurly-burly but focuses more on the man Disraeli rather than on the politics in which the man was such an accomplished participant. This is a very sympathetic biography, well-written and insightful.” — from C.H. at Goodreads dot com. “This book is a true testament of what can be accomplished in spite of extraordinary odds.” — from Gregory at Goodreads dot com. “When a biography moves you emotionally, equal credit goes to the biographer and the subject. Especially when it moves a person who does not habitually enjoy biographies, it just proves that it is one book worth reading. This book paints a picture of a misunderstood statesman, who succeeded against all odds, to achieve his dreams; grasping the meaning of life on the way. An inspiring tale.” — review from Richa at Goodreads dot com.
