Descriptionof Cromwell Against the Scots
Manufacturer

Although the war is also known as the Third English Civil War, the author clarifies that this was the last war between Scots and English as separate states. He details the events following the landing of the exiled King Charles II in Scotland and his alliance with the Scottish Covenanters, the former allies of the English Parliamentarians. Cromwell's preemptive strike in Scotland led to the Battle of Dunbar, a crushing defeat for the Scots under David Leslie. This defeat, however, united the Scottish cause and led to the raising of the kingdom's army under Charles II himself. Charles II launched a desperate counter-invasion across the border, hoping to ignite a Royalist rebellion and force Cromwell to pursue him. However, he left Monck to complete the pacification of Scotland. Cromwell caught up with Charles II at Worcester, where the Scottish Royalist army was decisively defeated. Thousands of prisoners were sold into slavery in the West Indies and the American colonies. This revised and updated edition includes an expanded chapter on the consequences of the war and the fate of prisoners of war, based on important new archaeological findings, as well as an expanded conclusion.
