 BBC - Northern Ireland - Ask Events - Ask Peter Snow
Peter Snow - William was a popular King with his troops because he was a fine General and he was popular with the people because he recognised there had to be restraints on the power of the Monarch.
Peter Snow - Very important because so impressed was William by the resistence of the Protestant people of Derry that he sent an army to aid the Protestants in their fight with James.
Peter Snow - Hugely significant because William was under threat from James and his Stewart family who had the support of Louis the 14th of France so British history would have looked very different afterwards if James had won the battle and returned to the English throne.

In the light of this ignorance of history (not confined to schoolchildren!), someone like Peter Snow (not to mention his very able son and co-author) is more and more valuable: he is one of the great educators and conveyors of information, but always in a highly accessible fashion.
Snow’s use of the 'swingometer' on TV to measure political upheavals may be much mocked, but that sense of playfulness (combined with totally authoritative knowledge) serves well here, and the result is a million miles away from the stultifying history lessons most of us sat through in dusty classrooms.
Peter Snow, as well known for his strategic analysis as his swingometer, and Dan, a young military historian, combine their skills to form a unique writing team.
