Kings, politicians, accomplishments, and failures are detailed in this engrossing seven-volume history of England between 1713 and 1783. What emerges is a colorful portrait of an era, dominated not by dates and facts but by people and momentous events. Volume four focuses on the years 1748 to 1763, beginning with the aftermath of the Peace of Aix La Chapelle and ending with a chapter on India-England relations.
