A Russet Coated Captain: An English Civil War box set Kindle Edition

by Oliver Woodman (Author) Format: Kindle Edition

21 ratings

Across three engrossing historical novels, Oliver Woodman brings the English Civil War to life.

Beginning in 1642 at the outbreak of the war in Man of Blood, we find a nation plunged into a vicious civil war when the foundations of Church and State are shaken by the demands of an emerging democracy.

Amid the chaos emerges our hero, Josiah Souter, newest recruit to the New Model Army under Cromwell. As the war escalates, Souter embarks on increasingly dangerous adventures in the fight for the survival of his country, and for himself. As the trilogy closes on the years after the war is over, peace still does not come easy to the quiet villages across the country.

Thoroughly engaging and meticulously researched, A Russet Coated Captain is the perfect series for lovers of English historical fiction.

Oliver Woodman’s working life gave him a wonderful training in the written and spoken word. But history was always a great love, as was communicating its fascination. Immersion in the seventeenth century began with childhood lectures over Sunday lunch from his father. Apart from recreating a luxuriant historical texture, Oliver Woodman’s main achievement is to look at choices from different points of view and provide an insight into how attitudes and beliefs reflect the worlds into which we are born and live.
