Marston Moor 1644: The Campaign and the Battle (Battles and Campaigns of The English Civil War) Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions
A comprehensive and insightful study of the biggest battle of the English Civil Wars: Marston Moor 1644.

Ideal for readers of John Barratt, Peter Ackroyd and Richard Holmes, and for everyone interested in military history and the English Civil Wars.

On 2 July 1644 some 50,000 combatants from five armies lined up outside York in what was to become the biggest battle ever fought on English soil. As Oliver Cromwell’s Parliamentarian forces bore down on Prince Rupert’s Royalist Army, a storm of thunder and rain broke over the combatants on the field of Marston Moor in a battle that destroyed the Royalist cause in the North of England.

Brigadier Peter Young offers an expert analysis of this decisive battle and its aftermath. Here he explores the military tactics, weaponry and composition of the rival armies, before embarking upon a vivid account of the fighting and aftermath.

Valuable first-hand accounts bring the battle to life through the voices of those who took part and provide a fascinating insight into what it must have been like on the battlefield.

This highly readable book is part of a series on battles which became turning points in history and is a must-have volume for every military historian.

‘Marston Moor like its predecessor, is both an exciting and a thoroughly-documented book. Brigadier Young has made yet another major contribution to the literature of the Great Rebellion’ — Margaret Toynbee

5.0 out of 5 stars Heavily used but salvageable

Used means battered - needed work to reattach loose spine and covers

This book is to replace a copy that was a gift from my late father. Condition was a shock at first, but pages all intact and un-marked. Some careful gluie-work on the spine and covers and everything was functional.
