Excellent overview of the English civil war from 1642 to 1651
There was no one real cause of the Civil War and there was never really one battle that was decisive to the outcome of the Civil War.
However, this is a 50-minute documentary produced in 1992 that puts the battles, loyalties, religion, and politics and their place in the account of history. It starts in 1639.
We get images (including portraits of the key players) and reenactments of many of the battles. We also draw on images from later wars to show the parallels. It uses appropriate background music and sounds. The narrator, Robert Powell, is definitely English so one may need to adjust for the accent and pronunciation of certain words.
We get the key information from multiple interviews (not sound bites) with Dr. David G. Chandler of the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst; do not be distracted by his English teeth. David Chandler places people into the English Military Pantheon.
