Edgehill 1642: First battle of the English Civil War: Campaign

Autor Keith Roberts, John Tincey Ilustrat de Graham Turner
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 feb 2001
This, the first ever Osprey campaign title to deal with the English Civil War, looks at the battle of Edgehill, the first major clash of the Wars.

In 1642 both Royalists and Parliamentarians expected that one great contest of arms would see the crushing of their enemies. When their field armies blundered into contact on the evening of 22 October 1642, Prince Rupert urged King Charles to array his army on the great ridge of Edgehill and give battle. The next day, amidst abject cowardice and absolute courage, the tide of battle swept Rupert's cavalry to triumph, but saw victory snatched away as the Royalist infantry was hurled back by the defiant Parliamentarians.

Alongside stunning battlescene artwork, Keith Roberts and John Tincey outline the battle, demonstrating how the chance for decisive victory was lost and the bloody civil war raged on.
