The English Civil War (Wordsworth Military Library)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Between August 1642, when the Royal Standard of King Charles I was raised above Castle Hill at Nottingham, and September 1651, when the second Charles barely managed to escape to France from the bloody chaos of Worcester, three separate Civil Wars between the Crown and Parliament were contested.The First Civil War stretched from 1642 to August 1646 when Charles I became a prisoner of the Scots. The Second began in March 1648 and ended in August of the same year with the Battle of Preston and the fall of Colchester, while the Third Civil War followed in June 1650, when Charles II raised an army in Scotland only to be defeated at Dunbar and Worcester in 1651.The English Civil War is a military history dealing with the operational aspects of these wars, and is based on an absorbing combination of original sources and extensive studies of the actual battlefields - battles such as Edgehill, Cropredy, Lostwithiel, Marston Moor and Naseby.
