New edition, revised. Including frontispieces to each volume. Churchill was an English soldier and statesman whose career spanned the reigns of five monarchs.

Churchill's role in defeating the Monmouth Rebellion in 1685 helped secure James on the throne, yet just three years later he abandoned his Catholic patron for the Protestant Dutchman, William of Orange.
