'The English Civil War' is one of the most hotly contested areas of English History and John Miller is one of the experts on the period. Amid dramatic accounts of the key battles and confrontations, Miller explores what triggered the initial conflict between crown and parliament and how this was played out in England, Scotland and Ireland in the lead-up to war. As the war developed, personalities and innovations on the battlefield became increasingly important, culminating in the rise of Oliver Cromwell and the radical New Model Army. The wars changed the political, social, religious and intellectual landscape of the country for ever. Using a lifetime's knowledge and study on the period, John Miller brings this extraordinary turning point in British history to life.

4.0 out of 5 stars It is a brief history, but that's not a bad thing.
Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2014

The book focuses on the various factions and the ebb and flow of their grievances and demands during the 1640's. I came away with an understanding of the problems, the proposed solutions, and why the solutions (usually) failed to be implemented. The author stresses that the English Civil War was more a series of political movements rather than a non-stop military event like the American Civil War. The author did a nice job of conveying why opportunities for political resolution were repeatedly lost by all sides. The author does not focus on military maneuvers and battles, but shows how they influenced the political debates and activities.

Overall, the book was what I wanted. It provided a solid overview, hit the major players and events, and gave many areas for further reading. For someone completely unfamiliar with the period and with English geography, it was a little hard to follow at times, but keeping a good map handy was a help. (I bought the Kindle version, and maps are not the device's strong suit.) My one complaint is that the book ends with the execution of Charles I, and the events afterward (up to the Restoration) are covered in a short epilogue. Granted, that is in keeping with the title and focus of the book. However, considering the author's focus on problems and attempts at political solutions, it would have been interesting to see a few more chapters that cover the next decade.

Gives a really good context to the reasons for the unrest during the period, the style of the monarch, the politics and the religious differences, but as a piece military history it is rather short on content.

This book is very factual about the English Civil War. I'm a trainee teacher so thought I'd swat up on my knowledge. This is a very dry book, so it wasn't a quick read.
I've put three stars because the content is good and has helped with my knowledge, but compared to other books I've read about the period this book is positively boring!

Useful and very clear guide to this turbulent period of our history. Lots of insights into the everyday considerations of life in 17th Century Britain.
"The people who knew the king best, trusted him least." - Just as I thought !
