The 1640s were one of the most exciting and bloody decades in British and Irish history. This book interweaves the narrative threads in each theater of conflict to provide an "holistic" account and analysis of the wars in and between England, Scotland, and Ireland from the Covenanter Rebellion to the execution of Charles I. Using a wide range of original and secondary sources, the author offers a challenging new interpretation of political structure and dynamics in the warring Stuart kingdoms.

Review
'Scott compresses into his short space the conclusions not only of his own state-of-the-art research but of a wealth of recent dissertations and articles with which only a specialist could keep pace.' - Blair Worden, Guardian 'This is an excellent and really useful volume. It is beautifully written and full of interesting new information and ideas.' - Dr David Smith, Selwyn College, Cambridge '...Politics and War in the Three Stuart Kingdoms has real star quality: short, beautifully written, and offering a highly original survey of British historians' favourite field of battle.' - John Adamson's Book of the Year, Sunday Telegraph Review
