Requirements: .ePUB reader, 5.4 MB
Overview: In this stimulating and original investigation of the decisive battles ofthe English Civil War, Malcolm Wanklyn reassesses what actually happened on the battlefield and as a result sheds new light on the causes of the eventual defeat of Charles I. Taking each major battle in turn – Edgehill, Newbury I, Cheriton, Marston Moor, Newbury II, Naseby, and Preston – he looks critically at contemporary accounts and at historians’ narratives, explores the surviving battlegrounds and retells the story of each battle from a new perspective. His lucid, closely argued analysis questions traditional assumptions about each battle and the course of the war itself.
