The two men were an improbable pair. But the hard-drinking, mistress-collecting Fox loved and admired Burke, feelings that the clean-living political philosopher and statesman warmly reciprocated. They moved together in the London intellectual world, opposing what they regarded as the overreaching crown. Friends Until the End traces Burke and Fox’s relationship through three events: the American Revolution; the impeachment of the East India Company’s governor-general; and the French Revolution, which ended their political union and shattered their friendship.   With panache, James Grant illuminates the politics and economics of their era and its lessons for our divided present.   James Grant’s Bagehot was praised as:“[…] in Grant’s hands, Bagehot’s life and career provide a superb prism through which to observe the extraordinary revolution in the British economy during the 19th century.\"—Simon Nixon, The Times\"[An] engaging new biography of Bagehot...
