  The English Civil War, which broke out in 1642, divided counties, towns, even friends and families, as the nation pledged its allegiance either to the King or to Parliament. This book tells the story of the struggle by focusing on the key dramatic events and recreating them with stand-up scenes. These include King Charles coming to the House of Commons in person to arrest his enemies, the crucial battles of Lansdown Hill and Marston Moor, the eventual victory of the Roundheads under Oliver Cromwell and the execution of the King in 1649.
