After a harsh upbringing defending his inheritance, Henry was to become an astute politician, an able administrtor, an inspiring leader and solier; a man who lived by the highest ideals of knightly conduct. Peter Earle has also written "The Making of the English Middle Class" and "The Last Fight of the Revenge".

<p>In this new study of Monmouth's Rebellion, the last major rebellion to disturb the peace of southern England, Peter Earle concentrates his attention on the rebels rather than on their well-known leader. By imaginative use of local records he has been able to present a convincing proﬁle of the men who followed the ill-starred Duke of Monmouth on his poorly-conducted campaign through the West of England. These men fought for him and for their own ideals at the battle of Sedgemoor, and they suffered and died for those ideals after the Bloody Assizes. It is commonly believed that Monmouth's army was a motley collection of plowboys and apprentices, but it was in fact composed for the most part of serious family men who thought hard before taking the ﬁnal decision to ﬁght for "the good old cause". In this account of their attempt to overthrow James II, the loyalty, determination and courage of the rebel rank and ﬁle is often in strong contrast to the indecision and treachery of their leaders. Monmouth's army failed, and its failure marks the end of the use in England of armed rebellion to fullﬁl a radical dream.Monmouth's Rebels is the story of the rising from its origins to its tragic endings - an extremely readable, entertaining and an informative book.</p>

Investigates the fascination pirates hold over popular imagination, taking the fable of ocean-going Robin Hoodsailing under the "banner of King Death" and contrasting it with the muderous reality of robbery, torture and death, and the freedom of a short, violent life on the high seas. Using previously undiscovered material from British Admiralty records, the book charts 250 years of piracy, from Cornwall the Caribbean, from the 16th century to the hanging of the last pirate captain in Boston in 1835.
