'Return Of The King' is a taut and tightly plotted micro- history, with Charles II weaving his way cannily through the plots and counter-plots in Britain and on the Continent. Largely overlooked, this period saw politics, religion and the army holding Britain in an uneasy and precarious balance. Against the background of attempted military coups, religious fanaticism and political chiselling, Charles FitzRoy paints many telling and colourful details of the tense eighteen months between the death of Cromwell and Charles II's return in 1660.
