Sir Robert Peel is a biography written by Justin McCarthy that explores the life and career of one of Britain's most renowned politicians. Peel served as Prime Minister twice during the 19th century and is credited with creating the modern British police force, known as the ""Peelers"" or ""Bobbies."" The book delves into Peel's early life, his rise to prominence in the Conservative Party, and his significant contributions to British politics and society. It examines Peel's stance on key issues such as free trade, Catholic emancipation, and the repeal of the Corn Laws, which led to the split of the Conservative Party and the formation of the Liberal Party. McCarthy's biography also explores Peel's personal life, including his relationships with his family, friends, and political allies. The book provides a detailed account of Peel's political achievements, his struggles, and his legacy.
