The English Civil War remains the most prolonged and traumatic example of internal violence in the history of the state.

In his new introduction to this second edition, Ronald Hutton places his vivid account of the Royalist war effort into modern historical context, bringing the reader up-to-date with recent developments in the study of the English civil war.

Using contemporary sources, surviving monuments and the evidence of archaeology, this book tells the story of how the life of this Midlands county was affected by the war between 1642 and 1651. Challenging the view that it was 'loyal' to the king, Worcestershire is revealed to have been a moderate and conservative part of England loyal to the status quo, fearful of change and worn out by the continual exactions of a war that few sought or wished to participate in.
A ground-breaking new history of the English Civil War in Worcestershire which looks at the experience of local men who were recruited into the Royalist and Parliamentarian armies.

Excerpt from The Civil War in Worcestershire, 1642 1646: And the Scotch Invasion of 1651 In the Autumn Of 1904 the Worcestershire County Council organised courses Of lectures for teachers in the elementary schools, and did me the honour to ask me to give one of the courses. The subject I selected was the Civil War in the County, and this for two reasons. First, that there should be some connected account of the part the County played in the great struggle; none existed, and ideas as to the fighting were disconnected and vague. Secondly, I hoped that if once an interest could be excited in the subject that some of the legends of the war that still remain might be preserved. After all, 250 years is not so very long. I knew, when a boy, an Old lady who told me that her nurse's father, as a young man, was on duty on Worcester Bridge at the battle. Mr. Burton, in his History of Bewdley, tells Of an old inhabitant who had been informed by his grandfather that he had heard the sound Of the guns at the battle. There are numbers of legends as to where Charles I. Slept when in the County, and some few as to where Cromwell stayed; but all are stated to relate to the Battle of Worcester. Possibly most Of them have a foundation of truth, and they are at least worth preserving. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
