"The 105-day siege of Derry was one of the most pivotal events in the turbulent history of Ireland. The last great siege in British history, it was part of the wider struggle between France and the United Provinces. For Britain, coinciding with the ousting of the Catholic James II and the arrival of the Protestant William from the Netherlands, it was an element in the 'Glorious Revolution', also known as the Bloodless Revolution. Yet, as Carlo Gebler shows in this magisterial and comprehensive book, there was nothing glorious or bloodless about what happened in Derry." "Weaving his way through the full weight of military memoirs and diaries, through 'true' stories, critiques and vindications of those stories, Gebler has created a definitive account of the siege and its full historical implications."--BOOK JACKET.
