"Between 1642 and 1646 two armies fought for control of Southwest England in one of the decisive confrontations of the English Civil Wars. In this short, turbulent period Royalists loyal to King Charles I clashed with the forces of Parliament in a series of hard-fought campaigns that crisscrossed the West Country landscape. Rearguard actions, sieges, skirmishes, retreats and pitched battles punctuated the course of the conflict, yet no previous book has retold the story of the Southwestern campaigns in detail. John Barratt's account of this bloody and disruptive phase in the West Country's history offers a graphic description of the engagements themselves and takes the reader on a tour of the battlefields"

Not read it (though I live in SW England and may well buy it!) but well reviewed on Amazon UK By Barratt is generally well respected, as is the series it is published in. |

I've seen this book at wargames shows in UK (and bought it) for a helluvalot less than Amazon are selling it for. Pen and Sword stuff is often remaindered and sold very cheaply. Even if you are in US check out UK based military bookshops. Barratt is well known as a knowledgable author in the ECW and the book is good. |
