It is an indispensible aid to anyone interested in the Covenanting armies. The entry for each regiment provides a list of field officers and chaplains. In addition, it meticulously documents the chronology of military operations and lists orders of battle for many campaigns. The detailed narrative of events is preceded by a general overview of the military situation facing the Covenanters in 1639 and an assessment of the size of their armies. The impressive quantity of material assembled here is organised with great clarity, and an exhaustive index makes the information readily accessible.
One of the advantages of new technology is that it enables hard-to-find books to be made available again. We are pleased to present the first fruits of exploring John Donald's classic backlist of academic titles. Not only do we hope to add more titles to the list but look forward to bringing in other titles suitable for this system as time goes on.
