Good condition. The pages are clean and unmarked with a firm binding. The covers show only light shelf wear. There is a small crease to the upper corner of the rear cover and a minor laminate peel to the front cover, but overall the book presents very well and remains an excellent reading copy.

David Casserly provides a detailed account of one of the most infamous episodes of the English Civil War: the storming of Bolton on 28 May 1644. Placing the assault within the wider Lancashire campaign, he examines the political and military background, the siege of Lathom House, the role of Prince Rupert and the brutal aftermath of the capture of the town. Drawing on contemporary sources and modern research, this is a compelling study of the campaign and its lasting impact on Lancashire during the Civil War.
