Battles of the English Civil War (british Battles)

"An excellent book...It most skillfully indicates all the essential connections between the Civil War's political, social, and military aspects."--C.V. Wedgwood, Daily Telegraph. "Excellent use of eye-witness material."--The Times Educational Supplement. Although the battles of the English Civil War were relatively small--only one involved as many as 20,000 men on either side--they involved the greatest of issues and are rich with human interest. These masterly studies of three major clashes provide detailed background, and military developments are painstakingly recounted. Even more important, the political and religious concerns receive every bit as much attention.
