"The King's War" takes the story of the great rebellion from 1642-1647, from the arrest of the five members to the dramatic moment when the Scots surrendered the captive King Charles to the English. During these years the great battles of Marston Moor and Baseby Wree fought, Rupert emerged as the King's chief general and Montrose conducted his brilliant but forlorn campaign in Scotland. On the parliamentary side the death of Pym was followed by the rise of Cromwell, both in parliament and in the field. the new model army, which won the war for parliament, was largely his creation. It was merely an army but a new social force in English life. Here for the first time "the ordinary people" had an organization through which they could make their influence felt on the politics of the nation.
