Andrew Roberts
Discover the truth about the last king of America, George III, in this fascinating and nuanced book. Historian Andrew Roberts combed through never-before-published correspondence to uncover the wise, humane, and enlightened monarch that history has forgotten.

The Last King of America offers a new perspective on his reign and legacy, making readers and historians question their previous assumptions.
