Major characters in history often have several biographies written of them, but other individuals whose roles in history are important go unheralded. Marion Ward's biography of Nathaniel Parker Forth is a biography of one such individual. Being a younger son, he had to earn his own way in the world. He went into business and because of his contacts on the continent and in Great Britain he was able to attain an appointment as a special envoy from Great Britain to France during the American Revolution. When war between England and France broke out his business intelligence network became an asset to the Crown. One of the lessons he learned along the way was: be wary of lending to Princes. Forth's life was also an example of how English/European society operated in the Late 18th century and is amply portrayed in Ward's work. Her book is one that will be useful to those interested both in political history and in social history.
