An acclaimed social history of the British Civil Wars by military historian Charles Carlton. Rather than focusing solely on battles and commanders, Going to the Wars explores the everyday experiences of soldiers and civilians during the English Civil Wars between 1638 and 1651.
Drawing on letters, diaries, pamphlets and other contemporary sources, Carlton examines recruitment, camp life, combat, disease, discipline and the wider impact of war on seventeenth-century society. Foreword by Sir John Keegan.
An excellent reference work for students, historians and collectors of English Civil War history.
