Volume Two in Gardiner's acclaimed history follows the events from July 1644, when the Royalists were defeated at Marston Moor, to the end of 1645, when they finally lost all hope of victory.

History of the Great Civil War Volume Two 1644-45

From September 1645 to October 1647, the New Model Army went from a series of victorious campaigns to a period of extraordinary political and religious upheavals. Most important, the revolutionary fervor that gradually took hold in the rank and file of Parliament's Army set it at loggerheads with the Presbyterian faction that controlled Parliament itself. These events eventually led to King's abduction and incarceration, and to the rise both of "Agitators" in the army and "Levellers" who pressed for greater recognition of the common soldier.

History of the Great Civil War Volume Three 1645-47

From King Charles's escape from confinement to the tragic climax of his execution: the war reaches its end in this final volume of Gardiner's masterful history. During this tumultuous time, Charles's duplicity and intransigence stymied his supporters and helped his enemies win the day. Meanwhile, Fairfax successfully suppressed the opposition in the South East and Cromwell comprehensively defeated the Scots at Preston-preparing him for even greater things to come.
