War In England 1642-1649

Zusatztext Donagan's War in England 1642-1649 is the first really systematic treatment of the military culture of the Civil War, seen from within: a study of what the war was like to live through for the men who did the fighting. It is likely to be definitive on these questions. Informationen zum Autor Barbara Donagan is an independent scholar at The Huntington, California. Klappentext A fresh approach to the English civil war, War in England 1642-1649 focuses on answering a misleadingly simple question: what kind of war was it to live through?
