William Pitt Libri
William Pitt, il Vecchio, fu un politico britannico che guidò la nazione durante la Guerra dei Sette Anni e nuovamente tra il 1766 e il 1768. È principalmente riconosciuto come un leader bellico votato in modo esclusivo alla vittoria sulla Francia, un successo che stabilì il dominio globale britannico. Pitt godette di un'ampia popolarità ed era noto per la sua opposizione alla corruzione governativa, la sua difesa del colonialismo e le sue acute capacità parlamentari. La sua influenza derivava dalla sua presenza imponente, dalla brillante retorica e dalle sue acute doti oratorie, affinate attraverso una vasta conoscenza letteraria e storica.
