Summary "William Pitt and the Great War" by J. Holland Rose is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the life and political maneuvers of William Pitt the Younger, particularly focusing on his role during the tumultuous period of the French Revolution and the subsequent wars involving Britain and France. The narrative presents a detailed examination of Pitt's strategies and policies as he sought to navigate the complex political landscape of late 18th-century Europe. The opening of the work provides a foundational context for understanding the political tensions leading up to the Great War. It begins with a detailed preface that outlines Pitt's earlier successes and his attempts to reform British politics, setting the stage for the challenges he faced as the threat of revolutionary fervor in France escalated. Key events, such as the attempted flight of Louis XVI and the reactions of European powers, are mentioned, highlighting the shifts in alliances and the growing fears of a royalist intervention against the emerging republicanism in France. Rose lays the groundwork for an exploration of Pitt’s increasingly strained efforts to contain the conflict and manage domestic unrest while maintaining the stability of his government in the face of external pressures.
