Summary:

How was the Civil War really won? &

In a new military history of the Great Civil War Wanklyn and Jones draw on a wide range of contemporary sources to challenge commonly held ideas about the central determinant of the course of the English Revolution: Parliaments victory.

&

Wanklyn and Jones conclude that Parliaments victory was not inevitable: strategy and tactics won the war, not resources.
