Despite the wealth of British Civil Wars studies, little work
addresses the nature of military leadership effectiveness in terms
of the eventual result -parliamentary victory. It is no longer
sufficient to credit religion, economics, localism or
constitutional concepts for the outcome without considering the
role of effective military leadership. The study of human conflict
illustrates a simple, immutable truth -the finest, most inspired or
motivated, well-trained, disciplined or experienced force is quite
like a modern cruise missile. Without effective guidance, it is no
more than a collection of very expensive parts.
For the general military history reader, the work provides a
concise strategic and operational narrative of the British Civil
Wars of 1642-51 in northern England and Scotland. For historians,
it offers an additional causative explanation for ultimate
parliamentary victory. As a study of effective military leadership,
it proposes, through a case study analysis based on a framework of
characteristics and behavior of specific commanders from the wildly
successful to the abysmal failure, a model of effective military
leadership for present and successive generations of military,
naval and air officers at all levels of command.
