Reviews
'Drawing on half a century of research and reflection, it deploys a depth and range of knowledge, and an authority of judgement, that no other historian could hope to match. In graceful, self-effacing, perfectly weighted prose Woolrych guides us irresistibly through the tangled events of the1640s and 1650s and stamps his own vision on them. For as long as is imaginable his book will be the vade-mecum of everyone, from the scholar to the newcomer, who wants to learn about the civil wars. ... I can think of no other history book of recent times that has controlled so large and sodemanding a subject so skilfully and satisfyingly. It is a wonderful achievement.'Sunday Telegraph, 'Austin Woolrych has given his book a title suitable for a textbook, but this blockbuster of a study is much more than a survey of the period. It represents a summation of half a century's reflection on a complex period of British history, and lives up to the claim implied in the title thatBritain and not England is under scrutiny ... In looking for comparators for Britain in Revolution, one must dismiss all the textbook rivals ... This book is a sure guide to mid-seventeenth-century Britain, and is unlikely to be rivaled for many years to come.'H-Net Book Review, 'It is the fullest general account of this period we have ever had, and itwill inevitably become a standard work of reference ... students ... will findWoolrych a reliable guide.'TLS, 'Austin Woolrych has now written probably the only book on the EnglishCivil War that you are ever likely to need. ...

It provides a masterly political (and military) narrative of a complex period. The style is elegant and lucid and it is a joy to read ... From beginning to end, a complex story is related with great skill and a deft and judicious touch, and a mass of detail is carefully controlled, managed and moulded to form a clear and magisterial account.

Synopsis
This is the definitive history of the English Civil War, set in its full historical context from the accession of Charles I to the Restoration of Charles II. These were perhaps the most turbulent years of British history with reverberations down the centuries. Austin Woolrych captures the drama and the passion, the momentum of events and the force of contingency. He brilliantly interweaves the history of the three kingdoms and peoples, gripping the reader with the fast-paced yet always balanced story., Britain in Revolution is the story of the upheavals in England, Scotland, and Ireland that broke the course of royal government for two decades and more. Austin Woolrych evokes the drama of the Civil Wars, the clashes of conviction and emotion that they engendered, their impact on the lives of the people, and the wealth of new ideas generated by the breakdown of the old order in church and state. He brilliantly interweaves the history of the three kingdoms and peoples, gripping the reader with the fast-paced yet always balanced story., This is the definitive history of the English Civil War, set in its full historical context from the accession of Charles I to the Restoration of Charles II. These were the most turbulent years of British history and their reverberations have been felt down the centuries. Throughout the middle decades of the seventeenth century England, Scotland, and Ireland were convulsed by political upheaval and wracked by rebellion and civil war. The Stuart monarchy was in abeyance for twentyyears in all three kingdoms, and Charles I famously met his death on the scaffold. Austin Woolrych breathes life back into the story of these years, the sweep of his prose buttressed by the authority of a lifetime's scholarship. He captures the drama and the passion, the momentum of events and the force of contingency. He brilliantly interweaves the history of the three kingdoms and their peoples, gripping the reader with the fast-paced yet always balanced story., This is the definitive history of the English Civil War, set in its full historical context from the accession of Charles I to the Restoration of Charles II.

This seller has little respect for the way they ship or how they describe products. This product was probably the first they described correctly but it’s tossed in an envelope without any sort of padding because they don’t care at all. I get that it’s cheap. I ordered from them accidentally but will be sure not to do so again. They have no respect for their customers.
