1.		The English Civil War: A People's History from HarperPerennial Price: £6.94 Customer Review: An Australian has written the best book I have read on our civil war. She tells the story using the accounts and histories of people great and small involved in the most devastating conflict our country had ever experienced. She is very even handed promoting the readers respect for aspects of both... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

2.		Homage to Catalonia (Penguin Modern Classics) from Penguin Classics Price: £6.29 Customer Review: Note how the great Orwell never says anything positive about those doing the bulk of the fighting against Franco - in fact, note how he barely mentions Franco and fascism at all! In the course of the events he descibes in this book, he spends most of his time doing nothing, like the rest of his... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

4.		God's Fury, England's Fire: A New History of the English Civil Wars from Allen Lane Price: £21.00 Customer Review: I am always a little reluctant to buy books that claim to be a "new history" of events that were well recorded and happened some 370 years ago. English history lacks bite, a dull procession of uninspired monarchs and a frenzy of Empire building. The Civil War seemed more a squabble, relatively small... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

5.		The Spanish Civil War: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions) from OUP Oxford Price: £3.49 Customer Review: I didn't like this book as although no one would pretend that Franco wasn't a deeply unpleasant man let alone the German and Italian leaders who sent him assistance, the author doesn't seem to explain properly the following facts: 1 The republic government only had a small majority of seats and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

6.		The English Civil War: At First Hand from Phoenix Price: £6.99 Customer Review: There have been quite a few 'first hand account' Civil War histories, and this is certainly a good example. If you do not have one or two already this would be a good one to pick: but don't expect anything very new if you already have a library of Civil War books !

9.		Home Guard Manual 1941 from Tempus Publishing Ltd Price: £6.99 Customer Review: An excellent book full of good information and much of it still relevant. In fact I am sure it was still in use when I was in the T.A. If you want to know how to read an ordinance survey map get the book. It captures the attitude of the time and underlines the desperate plight of the country. It... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

10.		Biafra Story from Pen & Sword Military Price: £9.09 Customer Review: This is an in-depth and well argued book from a writer better known for other genres. My caveat to any reader is that Forsythe is shamelessly pro-Biafran and this is born out in his writing. I have no issue with writers having an opinion,but lets be clear of this from the outset. It's a book with... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
