Excerpt from The Life and Campaigns of Alexander Leslie: First Earl of Leven For the history of Leslie's campaigns I have drawn largely upon the Kings Pamphlets in the British Museum, upon a valuable collection of tracts relating to North Country history in the Library of the Society of Antiquaries of New castle-upon-tyne, and also upon a rare collection of reprints which the courtesy of the Librarian and Committee of the Public Library of that town placed at my disposal. These sources have been especially valuable for the years 1644, 1646 and 1647. For 1639 and 1640 the State Papers, and for 1645 the Lords' Journals have furnished the most detailed information. The authorities upon the Scottish side are comparatively silent through out upon the operations of their army in England, but Sir William Fraser's volumes have been of the utmost value. Since the references to authorities in my notes are given usually in an abbreviated form, I have printed a bibliography on page xvii.

Field Marshal Alexander Leslie was the highest ranking commander from the British Isles to serve in the Thirty Years’ War.

Crown, Covenant and Cromwell is a groundbreaking military history of the Great Civil War or rather the last Anglo-Scottish War as it was fought in Scotland and by Scottish armies in England between 1639 and 1651. While the politics of the time are necessarily touched upon, it is above all the story of those armies and the men who marched in them under generals such as Alexander Leslie, the illiterate soldier of fortune who became Earl of Leven, James Graham, Marquis of Montrose and of course Oliver Cromwell, the fenland farmer and Lord Protector of England.Historians sometimes seem to regard battles as rather too exciting to be a respectable field of study, but determining just how that battle was won or lost is often just as important as unraveling the underlying reasons why it came to be fought in the first place or the consequences that followed. Here, Stuart Reid, one of Scotlands leading military historians, brings the campaigns and battles of those far off unhappy times to life in a fast-paced and authoritative narrative as never before.
