An indispensable pocket guide to every significant battle site in Britain
Britain's many battlefields bear witness to dramatic turning points in our history. In this very readable guide, Clark surveys the major battles, exploring over one thousand years of colourful and fascinating history, from the Roman occupation to the last battle to be fought on British soil, at Culloden.
A Brief Guide to British Battlefields covers over 100 battles fought between AD 84 and 1746, along with explanatory details of contemporary weapons and tactics. Each entry is a self-contained guide - an account of events leading up to the battle, a vivid description of the fighting itself and an assessment of the short- and long-term consequences - but the book can also be read as a continuous narrative.
The book is filled with useful information for visits, including precise identification of the location of each battlefield and how to gain access, and significant features of each site.
