In the Sunday Book Review, Tom Fox considers books that would interest compliance professionals, business executives, or anyone curious about the subject. It could be books about business, compliance, history, leadership, current events, or any other topic that might interest Tom. This year is the 500th anniversary of the combination of the Kingdoms of England and Scotland to form what became the United Kingdom. As a part of this merger, James VI of Scotland became James I of the UK. Today, we review three new books on James VI of Scotland, who became James I of the Kingdom of England and Scotland.
The Mirror of Great Britain by Clare Jackson
The Sun Rising by Anna Whitelock
