This book charts the life and assassination of Spencer Perceval and his assassin John Bellingham. Perceval is one of the most successful British politicians to remain relatively unknown, only being known as the only British Prime Minister ever to have been assassinated. This book shows Perceval's subtle and deft handling of Nelson, Wellington, Napoleon, George III, the Prince Regent and the Princess of Wales. It also brings to life politics against a backdrop of war with France and the impending war with the United States.
