A brilliant appraisal of the Civil War and its long-term consequences, by an
acclaimed historian.
The political upheaval of the mid-seventeenth century has no parallel in
English history. Other events have changed the occupancy and the powers of the
throne, but the conflict of 1640-60 was more dramatic: the monarchy and the
House of Lords were abolished, to be replaced by a republic and military rule.
In this wonderfully readable account, Blair Worden explores the events of this
period and their origins - the war between King and Parliament, the execution
of Charles I, Cromwell's rule and the Restoration - while aiming to reveal
something more elusive: the motivations of contemporaries on both sides and
the concerns of later generations.
