One late summers day in 1642 two rival armies faced each other across the rolling Warwickshire countryside at Edgehill. There Royalists faithful to King Charles I engaged in a battle with the supporters of the Parliament. Ahead lay even more desperate battles like Marston Moor & Naseby. The fighting was also to rage through Scotland & Ireland notably at the siege of Drogheda & the decisive battle of Dunbar. Few periods in English history are more significant than that to which acclaimed author Trevor Royle turns his attention in CIVIL WAR. From his shrewd analyses of the characters who played their parts in the wars to his brilliantly concise descriptions of battles Trevor Royle has produced a vivid & dramatic narrative of those turbulent years. His book also reveals how the new ideas & dispensations that followed from the wars
- Cromwells Protectorate the Restoration of Charles II & the Glorious Revolution of 1689
- made it possible for England Ireland & Scotland to progress towards their own more distant future as democratic societies.
