9.2 - William Pitt the Elder, 1st Earl of Chatham (Part 2): "The Great Commoner & Hero to the People"

from Prime Factors - Ranking UK Prime Ministers · host Joe & Abram

"My Lord, I am sure I can save this country, and no one else can." Britain was losing the Seven Years War and the Duke of Newcastle seemed powerless to stop it. William Pitt had been drummed out of government once, but the mobs in the street still cried out his name. No one had more faith in his abilities than Pitt himself, but could the Great Commoner turn the tide and deliver the British Empire to its greatest victories?
