This was a pretty straightforward chronological military history of the English Civil War. This battle happened, then this battle happened sort of thing. I was hoping it would explain how and why the Parliamentarians won. What innovations of tactics did they use? Was their strategy fundamentally better? Did they have more money or guns or soldiers? And it nearly did but it didn't expand very much on the hints that it gave.
