Last Revolution, The 1688 and the Creation of the Modern World by Patrick Dillon
Presents England's last great political struggle, a struggle which seemed far from glorious. This book offers the political exiles who plotted against James II, and the financiers who established the City; the philosophers and gamblers, actors and entrepreneurs, and the traditionalists defending cherished values against The Moderns.
Patrick Dillon's previous book, a history of the eighteenth century gin craze, was acclaimed for its combination of detailed research and vivid narrative. Born in London, he also runs a successful architectural practice specialising in historic buildings, most recently the Benjamin Franklin House. He is married with two children.
