""George Canning"" is a biography written by W. Alison Phillips, detailing the life and political career of George Canning, a British statesman who served as Prime Minister in 1827. The book explores Canning's early life, his education at Eton and Oxford, and his entry into politics as a member of Parliament. Phillips delves into Canning's rise through the ranks of the Tory party, his tenure as Foreign Secretary, and his role in the abolition of the slave trade.
