In this bold history of the men who directed and determined the outcome of the mid-seventeenth-century British wars - from Cromwell, Fairfax and Essex to many more lesser-known figures - military historian Malcolm Wanklyn offers the first assessment of leadership and the importance of command in the civil wars. Wanklyn examines how the generals prepared for, fought in, and followed up a battle, and he provides an incisive appraisal of the performance of individual commanders set against their peers and across the period.

Malcolm Wanklyn is Professor of History at the University of Wolverhampton, and former head of the Department of History and War Studies. He has taught postgraduate and undergraduate courses on seventeenth-century history for many years, and has lectured widely on the Civil War to both academic and non-academic audiences. He has published extensively on early modern England, and is the author of 'A Military History of the English Civil War 1642-1646' and 'Decisive Battles of the English Civil War'.
