This diary is the only eye-witness account of the English Civil War
by a participant on the King's side who was not an officer. The
diarist, Richard Symonds, was a royal Lifeguardsman for the crucial
two years of 1644-5, which included the battle of Naseby and the
Royalist defeat. The value of his diaries to our understanding of
the Civil War is considerable. It provides a distinctive picture of
the face of battle in the Civil War, of the feelings of a sensitive
and passionate follower of the King, and of the variety of military
experience the war afforded. This 1998 reissue enhances Symond's
diary by placing it in a rich historical context for the first
time, and adds a great deal of material supplied by recent
historical scholarship. This book will be invaluable to scholars
and students of the English Civil War, as well as to local
historians, war-gamers and Civil War re-enactors.
