D A Winstanley | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

First published in 1910, this volume traces the struggle between the Crown and the Whig party from the accession of George III in 1760 to the downfall of the Rockingham administration in 1766. Through a detailed examination of the events and figures that defined this tumultuous period of British political history, D. A. Winstanley creates an account that is both readable and academically rigorous. Whilst the text is limited in terms of its explanation of foreign policy, this can be excused by its stated intention of concentrating on a specific aspect of the domestic scene. This volume will be of value to anyone with an interest in political history and the development of the British parliamentary system.
