Reviews
As is often the case in collections of this type, a superior volume is one that is more than simply the sum of its parts. This collection meets that condition. * JOURNAL OF MILITARY HISTORY *
The eleven essays approach the reign from directions new and old [but] reinforce the current picture of a style of kingship that was vigorous, often inventive, invariably shrewd, and remarkably sensitive to the need to win public support for demanding and expensive policies... A notable addition to the literature. * ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW *
With a sharp focus on high politics, this is a cohesive and exemplary collection of rewarding scholarship. * HISTORY *
Welcome volume... a small group of leading scholars...complement and reinforce each other providing greater overall depth to the individual studies. * ALBION *
