About this film

LibriVox recording of Life of Viscount Palmerston by Lloyd Charles Sanders. Read in English by Pamela Nagami. This is a short life of Henry John Temple (1784-1865), Third Viscount Palmerston, Great Britain's affable, able, and always available Foreign Secretary, Home Secretary, and Prime Minister.

He created Belgium, saved Portugal and Spain from absolutism, rescued Turkey from Russia, and the highway to India from France."
