520    Dan Jones takes us back to 1215, the turbulent year when 
       the Magna Carta was just a peace treaty between England’s 
       King John and a group of self-interested, violent barons 
       who were tired of his high taxes and endless foreign wars.
       The treaty would fail within two months of its 
       confirmation.   But this important document marked the 
       first time a king was forced to obey his own laws. Jones’s
       1215 follows the story of the Magna Carta’s creation, its 
       failure, and the war that subsequently engulfed England 
       and is book that will appeal to fans of microhistories of 
       pivotal years like 1066, 1491, and especially 1776—when 
       American patriots, inspired by that long-ago defiance, 
       dared to pick up arms against another English king.
