Cromwell's Crowning Mercy: The Battle of Worcester 1651

Atkin, County Archaeologist for Worcestershire, offers a detailed account of the final battle of the English Civil War, in which Oliver Cromwell led his army against the city of Worcester, then Royalist headquarters, in September 1651. At the end the Royalist cause was shattered and Charles II was a fugitive. He uses original sources and quotes extensively from those who took part as soldiers or residents of the occupied city.
