| book description |

Edmund Burke and Charles Fox made common political cause in eighteenth-century Britain for twenty-five years: they supported the rebellious American colonies, attacked the British slave trade, defended religious liberty and attempted to shield Britainâ€™s credit from the crisis-prone East India Company. The two men were an improbable pair. But the hard-drinking, mistress-collecting Fox loved and admired Burke, feelings that the clean-living political philosopher and statesman warmly reciprocated. They moved together in the London intellectual world, opposing what they regarded as the overreaching crown. Friends Until the End traces Burke and Foxâ€™s relationship through three events: the American Revolution; the impeachment of the East India Companyâ€™s governor-general; and the French Revolution, which ended their political union and shattered their friendship. With panache, James Grant illuminates the politics and economics of their era and its lessons for our divided present. James Grantâ€™s Bagehot was praised as: â€œ[â€¦] in Grantâ€™s hands, Bagehotâ€™s life and career provide a superb prism through which to observe the extraordinary revolution in the British economy during the 19th century.""â€”Simon Nixon, The Times ""[An] engaging new biography of Bagehot... In this very enjoyable book, Grant demonstrates that he has the measure of a fascinatingâ€”and greatâ€”Victorian.""â€”Financial Times
