Purchase options and add-ons

This beautifully illustrated military history of the British and Irish Civil Wars offers an integrated account of the conflict that engulfed the kingdoms ruled by Charles I after 1638. On one hand, it studies the interaction between the Stuart kingdoms, comparing and contrasting their wartime experiences; on the other, it outlines the various civil wars which were fought in Scotland, Ireland, and England during the 1640s. Throughout the text, contributors examine how troops were raised, trained, clothed, armed, fed, and paid; the strategies adopted by the protagonists fighting in the various theatres of war; and the tactics used by their generals in combat. What role did siege warfare play in shaping the course of events? What contribution did seapower make to the conduct of combat on land? What impact did ten years of brutal conflict have on the populations of England, Ireland, and Scotland--especially on the women and children? Such are the questions this book aims to answer.

    I am researching the happenings in Scotland to understand why my ancestors would leave there in this period of time. This book presents excellent detail of the political and military activities and the effect those had on the population.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Collections of essays on the English Civil War
    Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2004
    Unlike the previous reviewer, I thought this book did a pretty decent job in going through the entire aspect of the English Civil War from the very beginning to the Restoration of Charles II.
    The book is a collection of essays written by seven different authors, edited by two people. I don't expect consistancy under these conditions and expect more diverse opinions and facts relating to the matter at hand. Each essay covered certain part of the long conflict that engulfed the British Isles between 1638-1660.
    The book comes well armed with maps, illstrations and I thought it was quite readable. Anyone who read this book should have a decent background reading on the English Civil War prior since you will be reading an essay which don't give you much introduction space.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Not a military history
    Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2003
    The subtitle of this book is misleading. It would be better to call it something like "Aspects of current research into the English Civil War era." There is no coherant narrative of the period, no summary of events, rather a series of separate chapters by workers in the field. If you do not already have a basic knowledge of the war in a little detail, you will be at least a little confused; certainly you will not get it from this book. As a collection from various authors, it also suffers from the incoherancy of that form; for instance, we are told early on that the New Model Army was extremely well-bahaved toward civilians, indulging in no looting or assaults, while later on we are told that both sides were responsible for many rapes of civilian women. Finally there is the tendency toward journalistic prose: several things "allegedly" happened, but we are not told by whom, or given any way to judge how reliable the allegations are. Such an abdication of the historian's responsibility (to non-historians, at any rate) makes the statement quite meaningless.

    John Kenyon is the doyen of 17th Century studies. He has the eye for detail as well as for the big picture. When he lets rip with his English, you are advised to stand back a little.
