The battle of Worcester may truely be called a turning point. In 1651, it marked the end of cruel series of civil wars that had wracked Britian and Ireland. As a military event, the battle is full of interest, both for the wide-sweeping manoeuvres which led upton it, and for the cut and thrust of the combat itself. This modern analysis of exactly what happened and why gives a sound grasp of the original archives. From the bridge of boats, to the Royalist Artillery and the role of Lambert, it is an excellent battlefield guide.
