"Charles I: living in the past, stubbornly holding onto power, unreasonably religious, surrounded by evil counsellors, squandering his subjects' wealth. Sound at all familiar? Anyway, this DVD is an excellent, quite thorough explanation of the English Civil War (1641-1645), its causes, events, and impact on society. Reenactments, many contemporary documents and pictures, and some erudite dons provide a concise and entertaining history of this bloody and significant conflict."
