The Williamite Wars in Ireland (Hardcover)

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.
