John Dixon presents a detailed examination of one of the most significant yet often overlooked engagements of the First English Civil War: the Battle of Cheriton (Alresford), fought on 29 March 1644. Beginning with the 1643 campaign and the political and military developments that led to the battle, the author analyses the opposing armies, the surviving contemporary sources and the course of the fighting in detail. The volume also explores the aftermath of the battle and includes a guide to walking the battlefield, supported by maps, illustrations and contemporary accounts. An authoritative study for readers interested in the English Civil War and seventeenth-century military history.
