I thought this book was very good indeed. Pretty unique too in that a study of dragoons and dragoon operations hasn't been done much before. Detailed studies of the actions of dragoon formations during the British Civil Wars are part of this work but also with much more. Equipment and tactics are examined. I particularly liked the chapter Standards equipment and clothing. The Oxford army and Earl of Essex's army are looked at in detail. There are also chapters on the Eastern Association and the New Model Army. All aspects are examined including fodder, equine care, saddlery, ammunition pay and organisation. This really is an interesting work and one no collection of books on the Civil Wars should be without.
