Adwalton Moor 1643

The Battle of Adwalton Moor, fought five miles south of Bradford in June 1643, has historically been accorded no more than a regional significance. Overshadowed by the larger and more famous confrontations of Edgehill, Marston Moor and Naseby, Adwalton Moor has become the 'forgotten battle' of Britain's Civil Wars. Yet in this new book David Johnson not only recounts the fighting in the greatest detail hitherto attempted, but demonstrates for the first time how the political repercussions of Adwalton Moor fundamentally altered the course of the English Civil War.
