Description
In George II: Puppet of the Politicians?, author Jeremy Black re-examines the reign of the British monarch to challenge long-standing historical misconceptions. Following his biography of George III, Black investigates whether George II was truly overshadowed by powerful figures like Walpole and Pitt, or if he exercised more influence than previously recognized. Covering his lengthy rule from 1727 to 1760, this book explores a period marked by significant historical events. Readers will learn about the king's unique military legacy as the last British monarch to lead an army into battle at Dettingen in 1743. Black also examines the era's intense drama, including the events surrounding Culloden in 1746 and the conclusion of the war. This work provides a necessary correction to the historical neglect often shown toward George II's complex reign.
