This book provides fresh insight into the life and work of William Pitt, the 18th-century British statesman whose insights and policies shaped the course of Anglo-American trade and colonial relations. The book uses Pittâs own letters and papers to uncover the man behind the legend, revealing his motivations, strengths, and weaknesses. The author explores Pittâs views on commerce and empire, topics inextricably linked in the 18th century. Pitt believed in the economic benefits of colonial trade, but he also saw the importance of military strength to maintain control over those trade routes and markets. This book reveals the depth of his commitment to those ideals and the lasting impact his mercantile policies had on international relations.
