Beschreibung
Jeremy Black delves into the complex reign of George III, exploring the nuanced portrait of a monarch often misunderstood through the lens of American history. His sixty-year leadership spanned pivotal moments that shaped the face of both Britain and America. Black offers insights into the governance and challenges of a king grappling with national identity, rebellion, and the monumental shifts of the Enlightenment era.
The author examines George III's role in the American Revolution, portraying him as a figure central to the events leading up to the colonies' quest for independence. Rather than merely a tyrant, George emerges as a steadfast ruler faced with an unprecedented crisis. Through adept analysis, Black reveals how this monarch navigated competing interests and escalating tensions, highlighting the political and personal dimensions of his reign.
Black also situates George III within the broader context of European politics and social change, illustrating how his decisions impacted not only his nation but also the emerging American landscape. The narrative invites readers to reconsider long-held perceptions of George III, offering a fresh perspective on what it meant to be "America's last king."
