King James VI and I, of Scotland and England, is shown in an
unaccustomed light with this book. Long regarded as inept,
pedantic, and whimsical, James is shown here as an astute and
far-sighted statesman whose reign was focused on achieving a
permanent union between his two kingdoms and a peaceful and stable
community of nations throughout Europe. James sought closer
relations among the major Christian churches - English, Calvinist,
Lutheran, Roman Catholic, and Greek Orthodox - out of the
conviction that they shared a common heritage and as a way of
easing tensions in an era of recurring religious wars. As a result
of these efforts and of British diplomacy wherever conflicts arose,
James helped to secure and maintain a European-wide peace during
most of his reign as king of Great Britain. A European by education
and instinct, he made Britain a major and constructive force in the
international relations of his day.
