The comprehensive defeat of the Jacobite Irish in the Williamite conflict, a component within the pan-European Nine Years' War, prevented the exiled James II from regaining his English throne, ended realistic prospects of a Stuart restoration and partially secured the new regime of King William III and Queen Mary created by the Glorious Revolution. The principal events - the Siege of Londonderry, the Battles of the Boyne and Aughrim, and the two Sieges and Treaty of Limerick - have subsequently become totems around which opposing constructions of Irish history have been erected. Childs argues that the struggle was typical of the late-seventeenth century, principally decided by economic resources and attrition in which the 'small war' comprising patrols, raids, occupation of captured regions by small garrisons, police actions against irregulars and attacks on supply lines was more significant in determining the outcome than the set-piece battles and sieges.

William III's defeat of James II's Catholic army at the Battle of the Boyne on 1 July 1690 ended the Stuart dynasty's last hope of survival. It has also been central, together with the siege of Londonderry, to opposing constitutions of Irish history. John Childs gives a clear account of the campaign in all its stages.

Download Battle of the Boyne Together with an Account Based on French & Other Unpublished Records of the War in Ireland 1688-1691) Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Of all the many battles fought in the British Isles, perhaps none has cast such a long shadow at the Battle of the Boyne - William of Orange's triumph over his father-in-law James II in Ireland in 1690. Celebrated by Ulster's Protestants with noisy parades on its July anniversary to this day, the Boyne was the decisive battle in the Williamite War in Ireland which lasted from 1688-91. This book would not find favour with those Protestant marchers since it is written from a strongly Jacobite viewpoint, and centres around the formation of the Irish Brigade who, after their departure from their native island, saw distinguished service as the 'Wild Geese' mercenaries fighting for France. Based on mainly French sources, and illustrated by fine engravings this is a book that will interest all who are keen on the story of the Glorious Revolution and the Jacobites - whatever their political or religious leanings.

The comprehensive defeat of the Jacobite Irish in the Williamite conflict, a component within the pan-European Nine Years' War, prevented the exiled James II from regaining his English throne, ended realistic prospects of a Stuart restoration and partially secured the new regime of King William III and Queen Mary created by the Glorious Revolution. The principal events - the Siege of Londonderry, the Battles of the Boyne and Aughrim, and the two Sieges and Treaty of Limerick - have subsequently become totems around which opposing constructions of Irish history have been erected. John Childs, one of the foremost authorities on warfare in Early Modern Britain and Europe, cuts through myth and the accumulations of three centuries to present a balanced, detailed narrative and chronology of the campaigns. He argues that the struggle was typical of the late seventeenth-century, principally decided by economic resources and attrition in which the 'small war' comprising patrols, raids, occupation of captured regions by small garrisons, police actions against irregulars and attacks on supply lines was more significant in determining the outcome than the set piece battles and sieges.
