Farmer George, Volume 2

This volume recounts the monarch's reign through political crises and personal trials, examining decisions that provoked colonial resistance—especially the imposition of the Stamp Act—and the parliamentary struggles involving ministers and factional leaders. It follows the course of the war with the American colonies and its diplomatic and military setbacks, traces the king's mental illness and partial recovery, surveys the dynamics of the royal household and succession, and narrates later political alignments and last years. Throughout, it balances political narrative, portrait sketches of key figures, and reflections on the interplay between personal temperament and public policy.
