内容説明・目次
内容説明
This volume is aimed at anyone with an interest in the English Civil War of 1642-1660. It is a thorough analysis of both Royalist and Parlimentarian armies, with chapters detailing the development of their uniforms, weapons and equipment, from the first hastily raised units at Edgehill to the professional armies of Naseby and Dunbar. Looking beyond the popular image of Civil War soldiers as amateur warriors - dashing cavaliers and stern Roundheads - the author reveals a world of revolutionary combat in which both sides were led by professional officers who created armies that were a match for the best in Europe. The political struggle gave birth to Britain's first standing army and its first adventurers in imperialism. Not just about a civil war, the book also covers the wars in Scotland and Ireland, as well as foreign expeditions to Flanders and the Caribbean, giving a full picture of the military revolution that took place in Britain in the middle of the 17th century.
