A good overview of the events of 1640-1660, it sorts out the various strands of the Civil War, Commonwealth, and Protectorate. The style is one step removed from narrative, as if one is watching a movie by listening to the DVD commentary. This is not uncommon in academic history books, but I always find it makes for a somewhat frustrating reading experience.
