The Hanoverians : The History of a Dynasty (Dynasties)

Summary: Exploring both the character of the rulers themselves
Review: A history professor and a leading expert on eighteenth-century Britain, Jeremy Black presents The Hanoverians: The History Of A Dynasty, an enthralling true account of British King George I, George II, George III, and George IV, who presided during an era when they were seen virtually as foreigners by their own subjects. Their dynasty survived the invasion of England by Bonnie Prince Charlie in 1745, and the loss of the American colonies, and achieved conquest both Canada and India. Exploring both the character of the rulers themselves, and the lasting impact of their rule, The Hanoverians is a remarkable and welcome contribution to British and world history shelves.
