Benjamin Disraeli, "Dizzy," the fop, popular novelist, Victorian politician, overcame a reputation for recklessness and the social advantages of having been born a Jew to become one of England's most popular, exciting, and respected prime ministers. By combining brashness with a mastery of politics, Disraeli left the mark of his inimitable style on the Tory party, Parliament, England, and the world. Neil Grant's account of the life of this great figure is a portrait of an era as well as of a man. Peel, Gladstone, Derby, Victoria, and Disraeli—what an array of personalities for a single age!
