Edgehill 1642 By Peter Young. The Windrush Press. ISBN 0.900075.34.1 in the Great Battle Series. A reprint of this well known book - yes, it's by Brigadier Peter Young DSO,MC,MA,FSA, FRHist.S. Commander of 3 Commando, who died in 1988. I missed this the first time out and I'm glad I got it for my birthday this year. Full of contemporary accounts, you get not only the campaign but notes on organisation of the armies, what they wore, what they fought with, and how much, or little, training the soldiers had. An excellent book by an expert on English Civil Warfare and an able field commander himself in WWII.
