R. W. Jennings explores the English Civil War in the Cotswolds, with particular attention to Cirencester and its surrounding area. The booklet considers the early parliaments of Charles I, the Dutton family of Sherborne, the Long Parliament and the growing tensions that led to war.
Sections cover preparations by both sides, the storming and capture of Cirencester, the relief of Gloucester and the campaigns leading from Marston Moor to Stow-on-the-Wold. The account also considers the effects of the conflict on local people through a section on the miseries of war and individual experiences. Maps and line illustrations accompany the text.
