Why read it?
1 author picked Rebellion as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A good textbook is indispensable, and this is the one on James I that I most often resort to. It is lucidly written, covers an awful lot of ground, is properly referenced, and offers an in-depth look at the reigns of James VI and I and Charles I in England and Scotland.
