The Civil War in the Midlands, 1642-1651 ([New ed.])

No part of England suffered more than, or for so long as, the Midlands during the English Civil War.

Using first-hand accounts, this book relates how the war led to the cessation of normal trade and the dislocation of the region's economy; and how the soldiers of both sides, as they moved about the region or passed through it, pillaged and exacted tribute from friend, foe and neutral alike.
