Both Royalists and Parliamentarians raced to capture ordnance stores in urban areas such as London and Hull, realising that they would prove strategically decisive in the siege warfare that later developed. Illustrated with superb colour plates by Brian Delf, this book gives the reader an overview of the types of weapon used in this conflict and, more generally, how artillery was actually used in the seventeenth century.0 The English Civil War is an event that has been celebrated in the British Isles most notably for the fundamental change it wrought in the process of government. However, the author Christopher Hill called his book on the subject The World Turned Upside Down and to many people who lived through the war it must have appeared that their own world was indeed turned upside down.
