Focusing on the martial core of the English Civil War, this account offers a detailed overview of the decade-long conflict: from the social, religious, and political divisions that influenced the nationâs militarization, to the experiences of combatants and civilians, and the Warâs relationship with urban and rural environments.

Peter Gaunt uses rich contemporary accounts to examine experiences of the War from all angles. Whether detailing early clashes between the two armies, analysing the events of major conflicts such as Edgehill and Cheriton, or examining Parliamentary efforts to establish peace, this book highlights the pervasive impact of the English Civil War upon the nation. With exploration of fresh debates concerning the memory and memorialisation of the War, Peter Gaunt demonstrates how the conflictâs aftershocks lasted far beyond the 1640s

Building on the substantial foundations of the first edition, The English Civil War has been updated to include:
- Analysis of the connections between the main war of 1642-46 and the political, administrative, and
religious developments during this period.
- Exploration of local politics and the role of print culture.
- Updated coverage of Scotland and Ireland during the 1640s.
- Expanded historiographical material and new maps.

Ideal for students and general readers alike, this is an essential resource for all interested in the English Civil War and military history.
