		The British Civil War: The Wars of the Three Kingdoms 1638-1660.
		It is in part a guide to the "wars of the three kingdoms," with due attention to the relationships between the king and his separate territories, partly a study of something more cohesive, a "British civil war," and partly a narrative of political events, textbook-style, of the aftermath of these conflicts.
