Books by Conrad (Professor of British History Russell

'Monumental in scale, iconoclastic and yet carefully constructive in offering alternative interpretations, and brilliantly orchestrated in its presentation, Russell's book must surely rank as one of the greatest landmarks in the 20th century historiography of this period.' Times Higher Education Supplement

In recent years traditional interpretations of the causes of the English Civil War have been questioned. Basing his study on extensive new research Professor Russell brings into focus issues of vital importance to contemporaries, but neglected by historians. He provides for the student the fullest account yet available of the origins of one of the most significant events in British history.
