Publisher's note

In a thriller-paced narrative rich in first-person accounts, the author explains how the six-week conflict dubbed the Glorious Revolution, which helped move Britain toward universal suffrage and liberties, was actually less than glorious in that it was characterized by warfare and massacre, especially for Catholics and Irishmen. Reprint.

A radical and illuminating account of Britain's "bloodless" revolution of 1688.
1688: 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'etat, William and his English wife Mary, James II's Protestant daughter, were crowned joint monarchs to rule alongside Parliament.
But as acclaimed historian Edward Vallance reveals in a narrative that makes history come alive, the Glorious Revolution was indeed characterized by warfare and bloody massacre (especially for Catholics and Irishmen) and engaged the British populace in the affairs of government as never before. A thriller-paced book--rich in seventeenth-century first-person accounts of the bloodshed and political machinations of the period--Edward Vallance's "The Glorious Revolution" at last reveals the true story behind these momentous events that would forever change modern government.
