<p>This book illustrates the differences in character between Jacky Fisher and A.B. Cunningham. Fisher is remembered in the general view of his time for his impishness and gift for epigram. Cunningham, by contrast, is not so well remembered generally except by the senior citizens who remember the war. Cunningham is given greater prominence in this dual biography. The author was a Vice-President of the Navy Records Office, so has had the advantage of conversations with men who served on Cunningham's staff in the days of his greatness.</p>

"Remarkably and immensely readable...A just yet compassionate study of two complex, muddled, fissured human beings caught in the most difficult of crafts--kingship...It should not be missed by anyone interested in the Stuarts or in the personalities of Charles I and Charles II: indeed, any reader will be greatly stimulated by it."--J.H. Plumb, New York Review of Books. Two kings, father and son...and yet, their personalities could hardly have differed more. Through sources as varied as masks, statues, poems, medals, and contemporary written records, a picture of these Stuart monarchs, their characters and their politics, emerges.
