The Restoration of 1660 is often quoted as the birth date of our modern British Army. While this may be true as far as continuity of unit identity is concerned, the evidence of history shows that the creation of an efficient military machine, and its proving on the battlefield, predates the Restoration by 15 years. It was on the battlefields of the Civil War that the foundations of the British professional army were laid. Here, supported by a wide variety of photographs and eight full colour plates, Stuart Asquith details the history, organisation, weapons and equipment of the New Model Army.

A Wonderful Addition to my Collection!

Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2012

This volume focuses on the military aspects of the English 'New Model Army from 1645 - 1660. It provides full details of the military operations, a full chronological account of the campaigns and studies of the military leaders, as well as looking at the influence of political and religious factors - all in an easy to follow style that keeps the reader both engaged and educated in equal portions.

It includes such interesting features as: how the regiments were raised, armed, fed and controlled on the battlefield, and contains descriptions of how the cavalry, infantry and artillery were deployed as well as the diverse strategies and tactics that were employed at the times and for different grounds. There is even room made for marriage, religion (of course), and even the medals and discipline of the day.

The author has furnished his readers with a wealth of information on this topic that applies to all manner of people with an interest, be they: historians, modelers, war-gamers or someone just looking to learn more on the subject matter.

This 40 page volume book contains eight color plates displaying twenty one uniforms and seven standards in beautiful illustrations with rich, robust colour. Added to this are about a dozen black and white illustrations from the time, and black and white photographs of the weapons and armour of the day.

The material is well researched, and well written, making it easy to follow so much information easily and enjoyably. Whether you are looking for information to aide you in painting your miniature models, assist you in assembling your recreation uniform, or just reading it for the enjoyment, this book can and will satisfy all areas of interest.

I wanted to rate it Four Stars instead of Five solely on the quality of Chris Warner's artwork - which, while fair, pales in comparison to Angus McBride and others who have worked on the series. Still in all - a good book, and a fine addition to the collection, as well as an invaluable aide in my war game painting.

This Book Defines the "New Model Army"

Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2015

This is a reference book that I wish I had had in my library in the 1981-83 period of time while I reading Antonia Fraser's biography of Oliver Cromwell called "Cromwell: The Lord Protector." While reading that book I ran across the term "New Model Army" but I really did not learn what this name meant until I read Stuaart Asquith's book--"The New Model Army."

A confusing companion to earlier volumes

Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2024

I would highly recommend Soldiers of the English Civil Wars by Keith Roberts over this volume. It isn't terrible but its a lot of the same information mixed with some confusing statements. I wish there was more specifics like Robert's had with some equipment it does occasionally but sometimes it makes statements like the one below,

'The infantry helmet was falling into disuse during the first civil war due to its weight and general awkwardness; its use generally prevailed, however, and it is fairly certain that pikemen of the New Model, at least, were issued with metal helmets. '

such a long awkward sentence way of saying New Model Army Pikemen were issued helmets but not breastplates. It's also not clear how he knows this. How is it fairly certain, is there a list helmets somewhere to share? It leaves a lot of questions.

Also, in the later plates we see a Musketeer with a 'secrete' metal skull helm under his hat. So was the helmet it disuse or not? If even some Musketeers also wore a type of helmet. I guess they mean traditional helmet?

A lot of the plates I also have some issues with. the pre-1645 pikemen has armour but the entire description talks about how much armour is in decline at this error and uses a statement from 1671 (over two decades after this picture) to prove this. My own research has found that at least in the beginning of the war pikemen had corslets since they ordered many from the continent and had many older suits of armour.

This issue continues throughout the plates. They will explain in detail everything the solider has but then ignore the armour that is shown or say that armour was in decline. THEN WHY DOES EVERY PLATE SHOW ARMOUR?? Was it in decline or was it still used? It's very frustrating. There's also a plate with siege armour which is not mentioned anywhere and has almost nothing written about it. I would like to know more about this.

My last and probably one of the biggest issues with the volume is it's not really 1645-1660. The entire books is basically about the Civil War again ignoring the commonwealth period of the 1650s almost completely. Other than one plate, they all date from 1645-50. There were a lot of battles the New Model fought on the continent in the 1650s during the protectorate but we don't get anything about that.

I wish there was more specific information. Everything it adds seems to either be conjuncture or goes against some of what other volumes and earlier parts of the and illustrations says.
