The Civil War was over, Charles I captured and sentenced to death. This is the story of the fifty-nine who signed the warrant and their fate when Charles II reneged on his promise of amnesty and sought revenge to the last man. Thrilling, suspenseful and moving, Spencer provides a panoramic insight into the religious and political issues of the day, particularly pertaining to their effect on the budding colonialisation of America. An original and valuable addition to historical scholarship.
