Description
Book SynopsisTo an extraordinary extent everyone in Britain still lives under the shadow of the ''Glorious Revolution'' of 1688. It was a massive, brutal and terrifying event, which completely changed the governments of England, Scotland and Ireland and which was only achieved through overwhelming violence.
Revolution brilliantly captures the sense that this was a great turning point in Britain''s history, but also shows how severe a price was paid to achieve this.
