BEHIND BRITAIN’S
SRS OID a ny
REVOLUTION
Heeding the call of England’s
ruling class, the Dutch Prince William of
Orange landed with a massive invasion force
and within six weeks expelled the Catholic
King James II. In what was heralded as
a peaceful coup d%état, William and his
English wife Mary, James II’s Protestant
daughter, were crowned joint monarchs to
rule alongside Parliament.
But as acclaimed historian Edward
MAMET alee racer Stele Ricaoi ads tare ty ccs history
come alive, The Ore Revolution presents
the reader with a decidedly different look
at these events, which we now know
were characterized by warfare and bloody
massacre (especially for Catholics and
Irishmen). A thriller-paced narrative—rich
in seventeenth-century first-person accounts
of the bloodshed and political machinations
of the period—Edward sar eetes presents
a riveting picture that at last illuminates the
true story behind the revolution that would
forever change modern government.
