In 1643 and again in 1644 the forces of King Charles I and Parliament clashed at Newbury in a bloody fight. Each time the fate of the country hung in the balance. Chris Scott retells the story of these two complex and exciting pitched battles and provides a fascinating guided tour of the surviving battlefields. By skilful use of detailed maps and other illustrations, he sets out in a graphic and easily understood way the movements of the opposing armies and relates their actions to the Newbury landscape of the present day. AUTHOR: Christopher Scott has been walking battlefields for over thirty years, analysing ground and tactics. He has taken numerous groups around British and European battlefields. He helped found the Guild of Battlefields and created their validation programme. He is also a trustee of the Battlefields Trust and a former Lord General of the Roundhead Association Army. b/w diagrams and some b/w photos
