- Summary
- "A generation after Charles I's execution in 1649, his son James II also lost his throne in the Glorious Revolution of 1688. This book charts the major issues of James's turbulent life. Triumph and tragedy abound: James's capture during the Civil Wars was followed by a daring escape and a successful military career in exile; his position as heir apparent to Charles II was thrown into doubt by his unshakeable commitment to Catholicism; and his popularity on accession ended with his spectacular fall from power just three years later."--BOOK JACKET.
