About This Item
The English Civil War: At First Hand, Hunt, Tristram. Published by Weidenfeld & Nicholson, London, 2002. First Edition. Small Quarto: 9¾" - 12" tall; 258pp. with maps, portraits, bibliographical references, and index. Blue cloth boards with gilt titles. Both volume and unclipped jacket are in fine condition, likely an unread copy.
A new history of the English Civil War which uses first-hand contemporaneous accounts to bring the period and its characters to life. As well as the most famous and lively documents, diaries and court cases of the period, the author has uncovered less known sources which added together will present a fascinating new angle on the years between 1637 and 1652 when Cromwell's Roundheads and Charles I's Cavaliers fought over Anglican reforms and Scottish rule.
