The Irish and British Wars, 1637-1654: Triumph, Tragedy, and Failure

Warfare and History

by James Scott Wheeler

With numerous maps and illustrations, James Scott Wheeler connects the strategic and tactical levels of war with political actions and reactions, and discusses how Britain and Ireland became battlegrounds in the 'war of three kingdoms'. The various stages of this period of turmoil are clearly demonstrated, right through to the execution of Charles I, the conquest of Catholic Ireland, and the eventual death of the English Republic, and provide students of history with an excellent addition to their studies.

[Paul Cool · Rating 4 out of 5]

Perhaps the most comprehensive political-military-economic account. As far as a war narrative, designed for academic use and rather bloodless. 5 stars + 3 / 2 = 4 rating.
