In this stimulating and original investigation of the decisive battles of the English Civil War, Malcolm Wanklyn reassesses what actually happened on the battlefield and as a result sheds new light on the causes of the eventual defeat of Charles I. Taking each major battle in turn -Edgehill, Newbury I, Cheriton, Marston Moor, Newbury II, Naseby, and Preston - he looks critically at contemporary accounts and at historians' narratives, explores the surviving battlegrounds and retells the story of each battle from a new perspective. His lucid, closely argued analysis questions traditional assumptions about each battle and the course of the war itself. AUTHOR: Malcolm Wanklyn was for many years head of the history and war studies division at the University of Wolverhampton, and he is now Emeritus Professor in the History Department. He has made special study of the English Civil War, concentrating on the written records upon which modern understanding of the military history of the era is based. His best-known books are 'A Military History of the English Civil War 1642-1646: Strategy and Tactics', written in collaboration with Frank Jones, and 'Warrior Generals: Winning the British Civil Wars'. 20 illustrations
