A substantial and highly regarded history of the English Civil Wars by Michael Braddick, offering a wide-ranging account of the political, religious, social and military upheavals that transformed England, Scotland and Ireland in the seventeenth century.
God’s Fury, England’s Fire examines the crisis of the Three Kingdoms, the tensions between Crown, Parliament and people, the role of religion and popular politics, the raising of armies, the slide into war, and the conflict’s dramatic consequences. Braddick places the wars within their wider social and political context, showing how ordinary communities as well as national leaders were drawn into one of the most traumatic periods in British history.
Illustrated with black and white images and maps, and supported by extensive notes, bibliography and index, this is a major modern study of the English Civil Wars and an excellent reference for readers interested in Stuart Britain, early modern politics, civil conflict, religious division and seventeenth-century military history.
