Friends Until the End: Edmund Burke and Charles Fox in the Age of Revolution
Burke and Fox were close allies until the French Revolution ended the friendship in public.
James Grant follows Edmund Burke and Charles James Fox from their years as parliamentary allies to the break that came when Burke turned against the Revolution in France and Fox did not. The rupture was performed on the floor of the Commons and never repaired. Grant uses it to show how a political friendship can carry an argument neither man could win.
