CIVIL WAR: The Wars of the Three Kingdoms 1638-1660

Acclaimed and compelling narrative of the great Civil Wars that wracked England, Scotland and Ireland in the mid-17th century. A masterly military history

On a warm late-summer’s day in 1642 two rival English armies faced each other across the rolling Warwickshire countryside at Edgehill.There, Royalists faithful to King Charles I engaged the supporters of Parliament in a battle that left 1500 dead and many more wounded.Civil War is a vivid and dramatic account of these turbulent years, from an Edinburgh churchyard in 1638, where the Scots signed the National Covenant, to their conclusion at the end of Oliver Cromwell’s Protectorate in 1659.Royle’s superbly drawn portrait of one of the greatest conflicts in our history is by turns evocative, shocking and compelling - a masterpiece of narrative history.
