The English Revolution and the Wars in the Three Kingdoms, 1638-1652

The English revolution was a shattering experience for the people of Ireland and Scotland as well as England, as wars broke out successively in - and between - all three kingdoms. This work gives an account of the sixteen years that were the hinge of British and Irish history. It also encompasses politics and war, and personalities and ideas.

Ian Gentles provides a riveting, in-depth analysis of the battles and sieges, as well as the political and religious struggles that underpinned them. Based on extensive archival and secondary research he undertakes the first sustained attempt to arrive at global estimates of the human and economic cost of the wars. The many actors in the drama are appraised with subtlety. Charles I, while partly the author of his own misfortune, is shown to have been at moments an inspirational leader.

The English Revolution and the Wars in the Three Kingdoms is a sophisticated, comprehensive, exciting account of the sixteen years that were the hinge of British and Irish history. It encompasses politics and war, personalities and ideas, embedding them all in a coherent and absorbing narrative.
