This book tells how on 23 October 1642 the Royalist and Parliamentary Armies met at Edgehill for their first major engagement. The battle did not prove decisive and the stage was set for a prolonged and bloody civil war.

Osprey''s examination of the battle of Newbury, which was the turning point of the English Civil War (1642–1651). By August 1643 the King''s cause was very much in the ascendant. Parliament armies had been crushed at Adwalton Moor and Roundway Down and the Royalists had taken Bristol. When they summoned Gloucester to surrender on 10 August the city''s only hope was a Parliament relief army. The London Trained Bands joined the Earl of Essex''s expedition and when battle was joined at Newbury the Londoners more than held their own against the best of the King''s cavalry. With the citizens of London so firmly committed to Parliament''s cause and the King''s cavalry no longer invincible the balance of power had shifted irretrievably.

The military adventures and romantic escapades of a young Roman soldier early in the first century.
