批評家のレビュー

Jonathan Healey’s brilliant narrative history, sees a spry cast of characters navigate the uncertain lead-up to war . . . Energetic and exceptional . . . Takes us beyond the disputes in Westminster . . . A book that bursts with character, a vivid reconstruction of England on the brink . . . It's a pleasure to read Healey’s stylish and fluid prose . . . A rollicking history, packed with fire and excitement (Daniel Brooks)
A lucid, fast-paced and exhilarating account of how, if not necessarily why, England descended into civil war . . . Vivid details brighten almost every page . . . There is hardly a paragraph not enlivened by his eye for the mannerisms, quirks and eccentricities of the actors in his story . . . Highly accomplished and impressively accessible . . . Its pages teem with larger-than-life personalities and dramatic incident . . . The House of Cards-ish drama remains gripping to the last (John Adamson)
This superb narrative history adds a rich cast of supporting characters, from Clerkenwell prostitutes to fire-and-brimstone preachers
Gripping . . . A galloping narrative . . . Healey deftly joins the dots between several points of no return. He writes briskly and accessibly, even to the point of tabloid snappiness . . . Discreetly, and persuasively, merges different currents in civil war history . . . Healey makes these elite manoeuvres lucid, lively, even suspenseful . . . Gives us gripping history from below as well as from above (Boyd Tonkin)
A forensically detailed, unputdownable account of the bleak winter of 1642, as England tumbled into war. It was dark, messy and complicated but Healey, always with an eye for the everyday and the quirky, tells a thoroughly human story of this most cataclysmic event (Alice Hunt)
Netflix should make this enjoyable English civil war history into an epic drama . . . An old-fashioned Westminster thriller, meticulously following the relationship between the proud, prickly Charles and his parliamentary critics . . . Creates a sense of atmosphere from the confusing, claustrophobic warren of the Palace of Westminster to the reeking streets of the City of London (Dominic Sandbrook)
Gives a relatively familiar narrative startling freshness . . . A fine, engaging and judicious book (Marcus Neavitt)
A detailed, richly atmospheric narrative . . . Healey is excellent at explaining the thorny political and religious issues at stake, but also has a nice eye for local colour: the filth and stench in the streets, the baroque obscenities with which fishwives taunted their neighbours (Dominic Sandbrook)
