This title opens with a chapter on the main historiographical interpretations of the war and its causes, then moves on to consider the progression from crisis to conflict, as events moved from war in 1642 to the execution of Charles I in 1649. In addition, there is an analysis of the parliamentary victory, the search for a settlement and the execution of the king. A final chapter discusses the significance of the wars in a British context and asks whether there was a British Revolution. This book forms part of the series designed to meet the needs of A Level and Higher Grade History students. Without assuming detailed prior knowledge, each volume provides an introduction to its subject along with an analysis of the main issues, themes and historical interpretations of the topic. Relevant documentary extracts are integrated with and support the text. Student guidance sections in each chapter provide a diagrammatic summary plus advice on note-taking and how to answer source-based and essay questions.
