(Reference #Bk-142)
The Scot's acceptance of Charles II as King in 1649 caused deep suspicion in England, and in July 1650, Oliver Cromwell led a powerful force across the Scottish border to remove the problem. For six weeks Cromwell waged a frustrating campaign against a Scots enemy that refused to meet him in battle. By September, Cromwell's army, poorly supplied, exhausted and ravaged by sickness, was apparently trapped at Dunbar by a powerful Scots army. On 3rd September Cromwell acieved what seemed to be his greatest military victory just outside the town, but in this book Stuart Reid suggests that his triumph may in fact have begun as a breakout attempt.
Dunbar 1650 is part of Osprey's Campaign series and includes many illustrations in colour and black and white. Three specially commissioned, full colour double page spreads by Graham Turner illustrate important moments in this famous campaign.
