  Forced out of power in the Glorious Revolution of 1688, and defeated in the battle of the Boyne by William of Orange, the short reign of James II has an importance that reaches beyond his three years in power. This book examines James' role in the American colonies, in Scotland between 1679 and 1862, and his final exercise of power in Ireland.
