Thistle publishes James Chambers
11 Apr 2013
Thistle Publishing has reissued two of James Chambers’ critically acclaimed biographies. Palmerston and Christopher Wren are now available worldwide in both ebook and paperback format.
‘A rollicking biography, weaving raunch with realpolitik, told with the bold swagger of Palmerston himself.’ Daily Telegraph
‘An excellent introduction to the great man’ Independent on Sunday
‘James Chambers exhibits a keen eye for the social as well as the political nuances of the day … He takes a scholarly and properly sceptical approach to the multifarious sources … best of all, he adopts an elegant, ironic literary style perfectly suited to its subject … the author has the knack of making complex diplomatic issues easily comprehensible … [he] superbly captures both the subtlety behind the bluster of this most magnificent of 19th-century prime ministers and what he calls his “infuriating but convincing air of jovial confidence”’ Andrew Roberts, Sunday Telegraph
‘Engaging biography … Chambers captures the puckish personality of the man and his aristocratic, irreverent, often louche milieu’ Sunday Times

“Engrossing. Fascinating” - Billy Collins
“Intriguing. Provocative. An adventure.” - Lydia Davis
