AUTHOR
SUMMARY
"In this excellent new biography, Christopher Hibbert goes light on the political side, and offers a personal history of the King....Hibbert sustains our interest with short, vigorous chapters, supported by a most helpful bibliography and first-class illustrations. He is particularly good on the later years of George's life, which political historians have tended to neglect, and the story of the King's decline into madness is told with skill and compassion. The portrait that emerges is balanced and convincing: a conscientious and deeply religious man, not devoid of humour and courtesy, obstinate but not stupid, intense, a lover of regularity, unimaginative and censorious, and not averse to using his fragile mental health to take political tricks."Hibbert, Christopher is the author of 'George III A Personal History', published 2000 under ISBN 9780465027248 and ISBN 0465027245.
