Description
immensely scholarly and beautifully written
book... This is one of the most original and
thought-provoking books on the civil war I
have yet read." -- SIMON HEFFER THE LITERARY
REVIEW "a work of great style and
imagination... As with a great 19th-century
novel, the story and the characters will
become your friends for life." -- ED SMITH
THE TIMES "vigorously refutes more than a
century of debate on the reasons for
Charles's downfall. a good old-fashioned
political history." THE SUNDAY TIMES "a
monumental achievement. ..a timeless study
of the realities of power... John Adamson
has given us a masterly account." -- MALCOLM
GASKILL THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH "... new and
profound, it's an exciting read, full of
colour and finely drawn characters. the ten
years dedicated to writing it were well
spent." -- LEANDA DE LISLE THE SPECTATOR
"engaging... he delivers a body blow to
recent modes of revisionist analysis." THE
DAILY TELEGRAPH "Adamson has fine gifts of
characterisation... he has raised his
subject to a new level." -- BLAIR WORDEN
LONDON REVIEW OF BOOKS "excellent... As
rigorously close-up historical narrative,
this is exemplary stuff." THE GUARDIAN
"Adamson's book has much to offer."
FINANCIAL TIMES " a daunting range of
references and a fluent prose style. This is
history at its biggest and boldest." THE
FIRST POST "In a charismatic way, Adamson
tells the gripping story of those tense days
of the 1630s and 1640s... This is
revisionism with a scholarly slant." THE
