Beskrivning
Philip Skippon was the third-most senior general in parliament’s New Model Army during the British Civil Wars. A veteran of European Protestant armies during the period of the Thirty Years’ War and long-serving commander of the London Trained Bands, no other high-ranking parliamentarian enjoyed such a long military career as Skippon. He was an author of religious books, an MP and a senior political figure in the republican and Cromwellian regimes. This is the first book to examine Skippon’s career, which is used to shed new light on historical debates surrounding the Civil Wars and understand how military events of this period impacted upon broader political, social and cultural themes.

Recensioner i media

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