The Last Revolution: 1688 and the Creation of the Modern World by Patrick Dillon

The last successful invasion of England; mobs burning Catholic chapels; one King driven from his palace by night while another rode in at the head of a foreign army – the events of winter 1688 were among the most dramatic in our history. The settlement which followed would place England decisively on the path to freedom, toleration, parliamentary democracy – and empire. Few moments have done so much to shape this country as the ‘Glorious Revolution’.

Patrick Dillon was born in London. His first book of history for grown-ups, The Much-Lamented Death of Madam Geneva, was a history of the eighteenth-century gin craze. This was his next book, a history of the Glorious Revolution that combined political events with the revolution's social background and changes in economics and science.
