AiTW Episode 13 - William Pitt the Younger: The ’Schoolboy’ Prime Minister

I'm back to my regular format for the time being. I've been wanting to discuss this exceptional British Prime Minster who took over the position at the ripe age of 24 and held power for nearly twenty years.  Pitt not only fixed the nation's financial woes after the loss of the American Colonies, but also faced off against Napoleon in the largest European war to date and had to contend with the ongoing madness and mental decline of his Monarch, King George III. He is truly a fascinating figure and one of the few people in history who I can confidently slap the 'certified asexual' moniker on.
