Publisher's Synopsis
The final volume of the three-volume history of Parliament and Cromwell in the 17th century, concentrating on the trial and execution of King Charles I, and the 61 men known as 'the regicides'. Vivid detail of the 'inner civil war' that raged between the radicals and the moderates on the Parliament side, as seen in the various counties of England. The moderates were so determined to destroy their enemies inside Parliament that it mattered more to them than defeating the royalists. This horrifying state of affairs has never before been so vividly brought to light, and shows the underside of what a civil war really means for a society.
