This is the year, the British government promises, that the Rebellion in America will be crushed. "Once those Rebels have felt a smart blow, they will-submit," predicts King George III, while Colonial Secretary Lord George Germain confidently talks of victory in one vigorous campaign. The vacillations of Lord North, the head of the government, seem ended: he now demands that the Americans be reduced to "a proper constitutional state of obedience...
...when he mistakes wrong for right." Lacking a father, George has always depended on older men for advice. Passionately attracted as a youth to the beautiful Lady Sarah Lennox, he let Lord Bute, his mother's favorite adviser and his own mentor, talk him out of marriage.

"Their solid position gives us the strength to know we don't have to go for the big hit every time." Well, maybe not every time-but more and more often...
