		"The English Civil War" (1642–51), is a generic name for the civil wars in England and the Scottish Civil War, which began with the raising of Charles I's standard at Nottingham on August 22, 1642, and ended at the Battle of Worcester fought on September 3, 1651.
		The wars inextricably mingled with and formed part of a linked series of conflicts and civil wars between 1639 and 1651 in the kingdoms of England, Scotland and Ireland, which at that time shared a monarch but formed distinct countries with otherwise separate political structures.
		The wars led to the trial and execution of Charles I, the exile of his son Charles II, and the replacement of the English monarchy with the Commonwealth of England (1649 – 1653) and then with a Protectorate (1653 – 1659): the personal rule of Oliver Cromwell.

		The ominous peace was broken by troubles in Scotland, where efforts to enforce Anglican episcopal policy led to the violent opposition of the Covenanters and to war in 1639 (see Bishops’ Wars) and compelled Charles to seek the financial aid of Parliament.
		The disasters of the second Scottish war compelled a virtual surrender by the king to the opposition, and the Long Parliament was summoned (Nov., 1640).
		Although some of the changes brought about by the war were swept away (e.g., in the restoration of Anglicanism as the state church), the settlement of the contest between the king and Parliament was permanently assured in the Glorious Revolution of 1688.

		In his preface Haythornthwaite points out that a purely military history of the English Civil War would result in a distorted view since the political, religious and social influences were so significant.
		The first is a general introduction to the war and its causes, the next two are the obligatory 'armies and organisation' chapters which give necessary information as to the creation, presentation and equipping of the opposing armies.
		These chapters give a fairly detailed run through of the war, with descriptions of strategy and deployment, how the result was viewed by the opposing sides and what their options were.
