Editorial Reviews
Review
Provides by far the best consecutive account of parliamentary politics during this crucial decade. Russell's superb control of his sources is immediately apparent....[A] magnificent book. (American Historical Review )
Customer Reviews
A brilliant book, elegantly argued and lucidly written.
Russell manages to take a complicated and chaotic period of English history and bring it to life. His thinking has become the accepted orthodoxy on the subject. Taught me more about the struggle between Charles I and his Parliament than all the other books I have read put together. Helped me get a First.
