Recenzii
“What a joy to read a book that vividly brings the civil wars to life, and which
does so with such scholarly authority and balanced judgement. Ismini Pells
has produced an exemplary study here of Philip Skippon, a prominent, senior
general in the New Model Army. Yet this book does much more than simply
rescue Skippon from the historical shadow of Cromwell or Fairfax or provide
the attention that his remarkable military and political career and central role
in the civil wars ‘deserves’; Pells provides a lesson in how to write serious historical
biography.”
