Collins, London, 1965, 3^rd impression.  Hard cover, 253 pages including Bibliographical Note, Notes and References, and Index.  Very good; green cloth with gilt lettering on spine; binding sound.  Dust jacket price-clipped, short edge tears and a bit of soil; old tape marks on verso from prior repairs.  Prior owner’s name on half-title page; remainder of interior clean and unmarked; black & white photo plates.  ‘Once the Army leaders had decided that the King had to die they acted swiftly.  The whole sequence of events here related took place over a bare ten weeks.  Within that time Cromwell and his colleagues assumed effective control of the country, resisted and defeated the opposition of both Presbyterians and Levellers, silenced their opponents in the House of Commons, overruled the House of Lords, found men, in defiance of all legal opinion and precedent, to sit in judgement and pronounce sentence on the King and an executioner to strike off his head.’ (from front flap)
