Friends until the End

Friends Until the End traces the complex friendship and political alliance between Edmund Burke and Charles Fox during the eighteenth century.

The book explores their shared support for the American colonies, opposition to the British slave trade, defense of religious liberty, and efforts to protect Britain's public credit.

Their relationship is examined through major historical events such as the American Revolution, the impeachment of the East India Company's governor-general, and the French Revolution, which ultimately ended their political partnership and friendship.

James Grant illuminates the politics and economics of their era with wit and insight, drawing lessons relevant to contemporary political divisions.
