Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A historian of the English Civil Wars shares a fascinating study of the seventeenth century New Model Army, examining its formation, tactics, and significance. The New Model Army was one of the best-known and most effective armies ever raised in England. Oliver Cromwell was both its greatest battlefield commander and the political leader whose position depended on its support. In this meticulously researched and accessible new study, Keith Roberts describes how Cromwell's army was recruited, inspired, organized, trained, and equipped. He also sets its strategic and tactical operation in the context of the theory and practice of warfare in seventeenth-century Europe.

Download or read book The Army in Cromwellian England 1649 1660 written by Henry Reece and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2013-01-25 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1649-1660 England was ruled by a standing army for the only time in its history. In The Army in Cromwellian England Henry Reece describes the nature of that experience for the first time, both for officers and soldiers, and for civilian society. The volume is structured in three parts. The first section seeks to capture the experience of being a member of a peacetime standing army: its varying size, the reasons why men joined and remained in service, how long they served for, what officers and their men spent their time doing in peacetime, the criteria governing promotion, and the way in which officers and soldiers engaged with political issues as the army's role changed from the pressure-group politics of the late 1640s to the institutionalization of its power after 1653. The second part explores the impact of the military presence on civilian society by establishing where soldiers were quartered and garrisoned, how effectively and regularly they were paid, the material burden that they represented, the divisive effects on some major towns of the army's patronage of religious radicals, and the extensive involvement of army officers in the government of the localities, both before and after the brief appearance of Cromwell's Major-Generals. The final section pulls together the themes from the earlier parts of the book by re-evaluating the army's role in political events from Cromwell's death to the restoration of the Stuart monarchy; it describes how the issues of the rapidly-increasing size of the army, shortage of pay, civil-military clashes, and the exercise of military authority at local level contributed to the climate of disorder and uncertainty in 1659-1660; and delineates how and why the army that had occupied London, purged parliament, and executed Charles I in the late 1640s could acquiesce so passively in the restoration of the monarchy in 1659-1600.

Download or read book Cromwell at War written by Martyn Bennett and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-06-30 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Martyn Bennett here provides the first military biography of Cromwell in the context of the seventeenth century Military Revolution. After commanding a small troop in 1643 and, without prior military experience, Cromwell rose to lead the cavalry regiments of the Eastern Association Army and the New Model Army to final victory at Worcester in 1651 and sealed the victory of the Parliamentary forces in Ireland and Scotland, becoming Lord General in 1650. Martyn Bennett analyses Cromwell's military talents and generalship, in addition to his well-attested powerful and even brutal discipline and religious fervour. He examines the controversial Irish campaigns as well as modern accusations of genocide. In providing new perspectives on Cromwell's military career, Bennett adds to our understanding of England's only non-royal head of state.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cromwell's Army: A History of the English Soldier During the Civil Wars, the Commonwealth and the Protectorate; Being the Ford Lectures Delivered in the University of Oxford in 1900-1 It is necessary to begin this book with an apology. A civilian who undertakes to write the history of an army courts many perils, and cannot hope to escape them all. The subject is full of pitfalls, which a little technical knowledge would enable a writer to avoid, and abounds with questions which it requires both technical knowledge and military experience to treat adequately. But though fully aware of the difficulty of the task and of the defects in my own equipment for it, I felt obliged to make the attempt. In studying the history of the Great Rebellion it became necessary for me to study every side of it, the military history as much as the political or the religious history. It was not enough to try to understand the characters of the leaders, and the beliefs and ideals of their parties. A civil war is not only the conflict of opposing principles, but the shock of material forces. It was necessary, therefore, to ask what the purely military causes were which led to the triumph of one cause, and the downfall of the other.

Download or read book Cromwell as a Soldier written by T S Baldock and published by . This book was released on 2017-09-04 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A unique edition enhanced by battlefield maps Although this is a book created for students of military history, everyone who knows anything of the history of Britain is aware of the colossal influence of Oliver Cromwell. He was the towering figure among the Parliamentarian forces during the English Civil War, a significant contributor to the creation of the incomparable New Model Army, central to the regicide of Charles I, and a political giant who would become the Lord Protector of England, Scotland and Ireland. In effect, from comparatively obscure origins Cromwell rose to become the undisputed military dictator of his nation. This substantial book is not yet another biography of Oliver Cromwell, for it focus's entirely on the military career of this remarkable man, and follows him throughout his time as a battlefield commander. His part in and influence over the engagements in which he took part is described in some detail which includes first hand reports by Cromwell and others. This highly recommended book is an invaluable reference work for anyone interested in the conflict that was England's Civil War, or, indeed, in the waging of war in the 17th century. This Leonaur edition has been enhanced by the inclusion of battlefield maps which did not appear in the original edition. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their spines and fabric head and tail bands.
