I'm thinking specifically of The King's Peace and The King's War. I got both of them for Christmas (along with The Trial of Charles I). Anyone read them? Comments? |

HOLY CARP!!!

I haven't, though they were recommended to me by a prof I really respected back in university. I just never got to them (I know, I know...I guess there's a reason I never went beyond contemplating that post-grad history degree, huh?) Let me know how they are! |

*bump* I figured I'd get a taker or two, just want to make sure our British friends have seen this thread. Dol - so far so good, its written in a very engaging style. The first 100pp or so are just describing what England and English society was like at the time. Fascinating. |
