(This is part of my journey through Revolutions Podcast, which I talked about HERE.  As I said in that post, I'm only going to do video reviews for the individual seasons, and then will put together a written review once I've worked my way through the whole podcast.)





The other stuff I've read/watched/listened to on the English Revolution (aka The English Civil War) is below:

Going through my booklist, it looks like I've only ever read one nonfiction book solely on the English Revolution: Free-Born John by Pauline Gregg  
Most of my information about this period comes from broader histories:

* The sequel, Twenty Years After by Alexandre Dumas, deals with the Civil War itself
* And the third book, The Vicomte De Bragelonne by Alexandre Dumas, deals with Monk and the restoration of the monarchy (which Mike Duncan talks about in his final episode)
