<p>No part of England suffered more, or for so long, as the Midlands during the English Civil War. Owing to its strategic position and divided allegiance, the Midlands became the debatable land on which the main field armies of the contending parties clashed in the struggle for national supremacy, and over which Royalist and Parliamentarian fought for local predominance.<br>This book vividly records the military action which took place in, and the part played by, the Midlands during the Civil War. Combining careful analysis with eyewitness accounts, it also describes some of the burdens that the war placed on the civilian population, many of whom were totally indifferent to the cause of either side and wished only to be left in peace.<br>This thoroughly researched volume was highly acclaimed upon its first publication. This new edition, illustrated with over thirty photographs and six maps, is essential reading for everyone with an interest in this dramatic period of the region's history.</p>
