'Scott compresses into his short space the conclusions not only of his own state-of-the-art research but of a wealth of recent dissertations and articles with which only a specialist could keep pace.' - Blair Worden, Guardian 'This is an excellent and really useful volume. It is beautifully written and full of interesting new information and ideas.' - Dr David Smith, Selwyn College, Cambridge '...Politics and War in the Three Stuart Kingdoms has real star quality: short, beautifully written, and offering a highly original survey of British historians' favourite field of battle.' - John Adamson's Book of the Year, Sunday Telegraph Review
