    About this ebook

    Police are still known in Britain as “bobbies” and in Ireland as “Peelers,” named after the man who established them: Sir Robert Peel (1788-1850). The extraordinary life and career of the Prime Minister who built the British Conservative Party is vividly captured by one of England’s most distinguished historians.
