Politics and style that travel to 2026
Benjamin Disraeli turns salons and chambers into one stage. Image and policy wrestle in witty chapters that still ask what a nation wants from leaders. The critique is sharp but never sour. Read him to weigh spectacle against substance and to enjoy style that knows what institutions cost and can do.
