The Story of Gladstone's Life. by
The Story of Gladstone's Life Justin MCCARTHY (1830 - 1912) William Ewart Gladstone (1809-1889), four times Prime Minister of Great Britain, dominated the Liberal Party for thirty years, but ultimately divided it over the issue of Irish Home Rule, which he unsuccessfully championed.

This biography restores its subject to his rightful place in the front rank of Irish leaders who led the Irish Party into parliamentary battle in pursuit of Home Rule.
