Siege Of Colchester

A rare account of the central event of the Second English Civil War in 1948. The Siege of Royalist Colchester by the New Model Army under Sir Thomas Fairfax illustrated the increasing savagery of the conflict, with civilians reduced to eating rats, and the Royalist leaders shot by firing squad after their surrender.
