{"product_id":"9780753826911","title":"The English Civil Wars : 1640-1660 by Blair Worden","description":"A brilliant appraisal of the Civil War and its long-term consequences, by an acclaimed historian.   The political upheaval of the mid-seventeenth century has no parallel in English history. Other events have changed the occupancy and the powers of the throne, but the conflict of 1640-60 was more dramatic: the monarchy and the House of Lords were abolished, to be replaced by a republic and military rule.   In this wonderfully readable account, Blair Worden explores the events of this period and their origins - the war between King and Parliament, the execution of Charles I, Cromwell's rule and the Restoration - while aiming to reveal something more elusive: the motivations of contemporaries on both sides and the concerns of later generations.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43399844331698,"sku":"9780753826911","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/products\/9780753826911.jpg?v=1698863478","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780753826911","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
