The Royalist War Effort 1642-1646

The English Civil War remains the most prolonged and traumatic example of internal violence in the history of the state. In the new Introduction to this second edition, Hutton places his vivid account of the Royalist war effort in modern historical context, bringing the reader up to date with recent developments in the study of the English Civil War. He analyzes the influences which affected his own interpretation of events, insuring that this book remains the most informative and compelling account of the Royalist experience in the English Civil War.
