Description:
This book explores the British art of war from Henry VIII's chivalric exuberance on the eve of the Battle of the Spurs 1513, to the shock of an ashen-faced Charles I surveying the carnage upon the field of Edgehill 1642. What emerges is a distinctively English approach to war, which in a discussion of the politico-military crisis of 1640-1, sheds light on why the English Civil War commenced as it did. Well illustrated with maps, battle diagrams, portraits of key personalities.
