The English Revolution and the Wars in the Three Kingdoms, 1638-1652 by Ij Gentles

The English revolution was a shattering experience for the people of Ireland and Scotland as well as England, as wars broke out successively in - and between - all three kingdoms. This work gives an account of the sixteen years that were the hinge of British and Irish history. It also encompasses politics and war, and personalities and ideas.
