English Civil War

Unread post

I have begun The English Civil War: Papists, Gentlewomen, Soldiers, and Witchfinders in the Birth of Modern Britain by Diane Purkiss.

I primarily decided to read this one to better understand events that later influenced the American Revolution, but this looks like it will be fascinating read in its own right.

Sound like a work of Fiction, but is it? Does sound interesting.

It is a non fiction history book.

Based upon my first impressions and upon reviews that I have read, it emphasizes the effects of the conflict on people and schools of thought, with less emphasis on battles and politics.
