A concise and accessible introduction to one of the most decisive engagements of the English Civil War. John Henry Crockatt examines the causes, course and consequences of the Battle of Marston Moor, fought on 2 July 1644, when the combined Parliamentarian and Scottish Covenanter armies defeated the Royalists in northern England.
Written for the popular "When and Why" series, the book provides background to the origins of Parliament, the outbreak of civil war and the military events leading up to the battle. Clear maps, illustrations and diagrams help explain troop movements, battlefield tactics and the wider political context. The final chapters assess the immediate aftermath of the fighting and its significance for the eventual Parliamentarian victory.
An ideal introductory study for readers seeking a straightforward overview of the battle and its place within the wider history of the English Civil War.
