Reviews

“What a joy to read a book that vividly brings the civil wars to life, and which does so with such scholarly authority and balanced judgement. Ismini Pells has produced an exemplary study here of Philip Skippon, a prominent, senior general in the New Model Army. Yet this book does much more than simply rescue Skippon from the historical shadow of Cromwell or Fairfax or provide the attention that his remarkable military and political career and central role in the civil wars ‘deserves’; Pells provides a lesson in how to write serious historical biography.” Alan James, King’s College London for the International Journal of Military History and Historiography
