William Pitt Boeken

William Pitt, de Oudere, was een Brits staatsman die de natie leidde tijdens de Zevenjarige Oorlog en opnieuw tussen 1766 en 1768. Hij staat vooral bekend als een oorlogstijdleider die zich exclusief wijdde aan de overwinning op Frankrijk, een succes dat de Britse wereldheerschappij vestigde. Pitt genoot brede populariteit en stond bekend om zijn verzet tegen corruptie binnen de regering, zijn steun voor kolonialisme en zijn scherpe parlementaire vaardigheden. Zijn invloed vloeide voort uit zijn imposante verschijning, briljante retoriek en vlijmscherpe debattalenten, gevormd door uitgebreide literaire en historische kennis.
