- Summary:
- "Sir Robert Peel: Statesmanship, Power and Party "provides an accessible and concise introduction to the life and career of this important British Prime Minister. Eric Evans makes a reassessment of Peel's career, arguing that although Peel's executive and administrative strengths were great, his arrogance, inflexibility and commitment to liberalism presented political problems which he was incapable of solving. This expanded second edition: * fully engages with the extensive new historical work on Sir Robert Peel that there has been since the publication of the first edition * includes a glossary and updated and expanded bibliography, including listing useful websites and an index.
