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.

Originally published in 1969, Gladstone and Kruger examines British reactions to the Afrikaner nationalism. Beginning with the first Anglo-Boer war of 1880-81, it examines the formulation of policy after the British defeat at Majuba Hill. A that moment, the dangers of a pan-Afrikaner revolt in the Transvaal, Orange Free State and Cape Province seemed imminent, and the British presence in southern Africa seemed very much at risk. Schreuder shows how the devolution of metropolitan Imperial power on to local ministries conflicted with the Whig concern for the preservation of British dominance and prestige abroad and provides a commentary on the Liberal response to the Irish problem.
