Light Shining in Buckinghamshire

"In the aftermath of its Civil War, England stands at a crossroads. Food shortages, economic instability, and a corrupt political system threaten to plunge the country into darkness and despair. The Parliament men who fought against the tyranny of the King now argue for stability and compromise, but the people are hungry for change. Light Shining in Buckinghamshire tells the story of the men and women who went into battle for the soul of England. Passionate, moving, and provocative, it speaks of the revolution they never had and the legacy it left behind."--Page 4 of cover.
