This is the definitive history of the English Civil War, set in its full historical context from the accession of Charles I to the Restoration of Charles II. These were perhaps the most turbulent years of British history with reverberations down the centuries. Austin Woolrych captures the drama and the passion, the momentum of events and the force of contingency. He brilliantly interweaves the history of the three kingdoms and peoples, gripping the reader with the fast-paced yet always balanced story.

Austin Woolrych is an Emeritus Professor of History, University of Lancaster.
"Austin Woolrych has now written probably the only book on the English Civil War that you are ever likely to need... he brings to the subject a detailed grasp of the culture of the times and a vivid understanding of the turbulent mid-seventeenth century mind. All this is diluted in this this is distilled in this massive volume, and the result is an absolute triumph...Those to whom the story is unfamiliar will be impressed by the freshness with which it with which it is told. The scholarship is immense and faultless without being heavy or intrusive. By the end, the reader is left in no doubt that every source has been tapped that could have been."--Literary Review
