The British Civil War : the wars of the three kingdoms, 1638-1660
"The tumultuous Civil War from 1638-1660 was a pivotal one in British history. Trevor Royle has produced a vivid and dramatic narrative of those turbulent years, from his shrewd analysis of the characters who played their parts in the wars to his brilliantly concise descriptions of battles. His book also reveals how the new ideas and dispensations that followed from the wars - Cromwell's Protectorate, the Restoration of Charles II, and the 'Glorious Revolution' of 1689 - made it possible for England, Ireland, and Scotland to progress toward their own more distant future as democratic societies." -- Provided by publisher
