A very detailed analysis of the Bishops Wars and the lead-up to the Civil Wars. Copious use of original material. This book is a challenge to get through because of the level of detail and analysis. It certainly cannot be the first book one reads dealing with these issues. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
A history of the dramatic events which led to the collapse of Charles I's authority in England, Scotland, and Ireland in the 1640s, this book links incidents in the king's three domains to construct a narrative account which makes sense of British history, as well as of the national story of each country. Russell traces the important role of the Scots in dividing the English, and examines the Irish rebellion in its contemporary context. Above all, he uncovers the role played by the king himself, and argues that Charles Stuart was not the passive figure portrayed by so many historians, but an active protagonist in the political events which were eventually to lose him not only one crown, but three.
