This work presents a concise account of events from the life of William Ewart Gladstone that shaped the history of Great Britain. Gladstone was a British statesman and Liberal politician. He had a long career that lasted over 60 years and served for 12 years as a Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, divided into four terms from 1868 to 1894. In addition, he was the Chancellor of the Exchequer four times, lasting over 12 years. This history covered a short span of Gladstone's life after his defeat in elections when he began a comeback based on opposition to the Ottoman Empire's response to the Bulgarian April Uprising. The book ends with a discussion on his proposal of home rule for Ireland, which was defeated in the House of Commons. Gladstone's admirers affectionately called him "The People's William," and he is regarded as one of Britain's most significant leaders. Since the life and legacy of Mr. Gladstone cannot be separated from the chaotic period in which he lived, this work represents the history of Great Britain during that era.

This gripping and important book brings alive over two hundred years of humanitarian interventions. Freedom’s Battle illuminates the passionate debates between conscience and imperialism ignited by the first human rights activists in the 19th century, and shows how a newly emergent free press galvanized British, American, and French citizens to action by exposing them to distant atrocities. Wildly romantic and full of bizarre enthusiasms, these activists were pioneers of a new political consciousness. And their legacy has much to teach us about today’s human rights crises.
