I'm about half way through The Noble Revolt: The Overthrow of Charles I. I picked it up 'very reasonable' in a Canterbury charity bookshop when we were on holiday and I've finally got round to tackling it. It's a chunky hardback, ignoring footnotes it's still over 500 pages.

Frankly it's fascinating. Well written, carefully explained and a masterly grasp of the topic, the author manages to explain a complex period well.

(On Amazon you can pick up a copy for less than £3 which has to be a good deal)

Cool. I'll tell Dave about it.

A real doorstop of a book, you'll get your money's worth out of the postage alone :-)
Thick enough to stop a musket ball at twenty yards!

Oh, he'd get the ebook.

He's reading Afghanistan war books at the moment. Don't know the titles but he said he read a couple by different authors over the weekend. Said it was interesting to compare the points of view.

According to Amazon there isn't an ebook.
And the hardback is a quarter the price of the paperback!

No ebook?

Then it's not worth even considering, is it?

Dunno, a lot of the books I buy don't have an ebook

Very interesting place, Canterbury. Ran the Canterbury half marathon once, with an elephant (real one!) in the team. Couldn't believe how many hills there were - I'd been through Canterbury lots of times and always of it as flat!!

That's the problem with elephants, the ground sags around them and you're always running uphill trying to get out

lol, so that was the problem!

Killers of the King: The Men Who Dared to Execute Charles I

I have just started killers of the King and enjoying it, although not very far in yet as I started a very good novel at the same time, will have a look at The Noble Revolt: The Overthrow of Charles I be interesting to read both.

Yes, then you'll have the 'before' and 'after' :-)
