Abstract: "The Concise Encyclopedia of the Revolutions and Wars of England, Scotland, and Ireland, 1639-1660 examines in great detail the key people, places, and events that occurred during the wars and revolutions between 1639 and 1660, focusing not only on the English Civil Wars, but also on the Commonwealth and Protectorate periods that followed, through the Restoration. Although similar sources tend to be limited to the English, Manganiello documents the large roles played by the Irish, Scots, and other Europeans. Biographies include military, religious, and political leaders, as well as sailors, writers, inventors, doctors, influential women, and rabble-rousers.
