Disraeli - A Personal History


by Christopher Hibbert Read by Derek Pugh (1 Cd)

This biography tells of the personal life of one of the most fascinating of British Prime Ministers, Benjamin Disraeli. He was an exotic outsider in Victorian politics, a converted Jew who through sheer parliamentary talent came to dominate and re- fashion the Conservative Party, charm the Queen, and establish the British Empire as the cornerstone of policy for 100 years. This lively book tells the story of his life progression as a novelist, politician and statesman until he reached, in his own words, 'the top of the greasy pole'.

by Anthony Clavane

This book argues that Jewish figures have played a key, if sometimes forgotten, role in football's transformation from a working-class pursuit played in crumbling arenas to a global entertainment industry. It tells the stories of the lives of these largely unsung pioneers, uncovering a hidden industry of Jewish involvement in English football. From the Brady Street boys who were as handy with their fists as they were with their feet through to the businessmen who helped form the breakaway premier league, and in the process changed the English game forever.
