BATTLE FOR THE SOUTHWEST: THE CIVIL WAR IN SOUTHWEST ENGLAND 1642-1646

      - SB 160 ppPublished Price £10.99 The normally peaceful rural backwater of the West Country became a cauldron of conflict in the 1640s when some of the most fiercely fought battles, sieges and campaigns of the Civil War took place there. This detailed and meticulously researched book both tells the story of the war in the west, and guides the readers around the battlefields using maps and photographs of the sites as they are today. Includes the battles of Stratton, Braddock Down, Lansdowne, Roundway Down, Lostwithiel and Langport. This is the first book devoted to the subject and is a most impressive one.
