Full of information

This book is loaded with detail about King George III. The chapters are sectioned off more in sections like politics, youth, family life, illness, hobbies...etc. The political debates and trials he went through are described in great detail. A little too much detail for myself. I got a little bogged down with all the debate. Mr. Brooke does give some good insight into the man though and gives some interesting views on the Revolutionary war and the cause and views from both the British sides and American sides. A good book for people who want to know George III the man, and a great book for a student of the Georgian era and the details of politics during the reign of George III.
