WilberforceDavid C Cook, 20. 12. 2013 - Počet stran: 384 "Vivid and painstakingly researched biography." —Daily Telegraph "Wilberforce modeled a combination of Christian principle and tactical genius as relevant in the twenty-first century as in his own time." —William Hague "The biography is the product of much painstaking research.
