A detailed study of one of the most decisive battles of the English Civil War, fought on 2 July 1644 near York. Peter Newman examines the strategic background to the campaign, the political and military situation in the north of England, and the actions of the Royalist and Parliamentarian armies that culminated in the battle.
Using contemporary accounts and careful analysis of troop movements, Newman reconstructs the fighting phase by phase, covering the roles of Prince Rupert, the Earl of Newcastle, Cromwell and the allied Parliamentarian-Scottish forces. The volume includes a series of battlefield maps, illustrations and portraits which help explain the deployment of forces and the course of the engagement.
An important early modern military history study from one of the leading historians of the English Civil War, offering a clear narrative account of the battle and its aftermath. A useful reference work for students, collectors and enthusiasts of seventeenth-century British military history.
