Throughout recorded history Yorkshire has been a setting for
warfare of all kinds - marches, skirmishes and raids, pitched
battles and sieges. And it is the sieges of the Civil War period -
which often receive less attention than other forms of combat -
that are the focus of David Cooke's new history. Hull, York,
Pontefract, Knaresborough, Sandal, Scarborough, Helmsley, Bolton,
Skipton - all witnessed notable sieges during the bloody uncertain
years of the Civil Wars. His vivid reconstructions allow the reader
to visit the castles and towns where sieges took place and stand on
the ground where blood was spilt for the cause - for king or
Parliament. Using contemporary accounts and a wealth of maps and
illustrations, his book allows the reader to follow the course of
each siege and sets each operation in the context of the Civil Wars
in the North.
