SUMMARY:Book Launch: The Fiery Spirits: Popular Protest, Parliament an
 d the English Revolution
DESCRIPTION:\n7pm. Free.\n\nJoin author John Rees  to celebrate the l
 aunch of his book!\n \nThe thrilling history of Parliament’s ‘fie
 ry spirits’, whose actions led to the defeat of Charles I in the Eng
 lish Civil War and paved the way for the execution of the King in 1649
 \nThe Fiery Spirits tells the story of the MPs in parliament and the p
 rotestors in the streets who played a pivotal role in the English Civi
 l Wars. Through their stories, John Rees reveals the hidden history of
  the republicans who brought a desperate nation to the brink of revolu
 tion.\nAt the start of the English Civil Wars, very few could have ima
 gined that the country would soon become a republic. Practically alone
  in his republicanism was Henry Marten, MP and future regicide. But he
  soon gathered around him a group of radical Parliamentarians that inc
 luded William Strode, the parliamentary firebrand, Alexander Rigby, th
 e formidable soldier, and Sir Peter Wentworth, descendant of a long li
 ne of opponents of monarchy. They formed the nucleus of a group that a
 llied itself to a popular movement outside parliament to defeat the ki
 ng politically and militarily.\nIn The Fiery Spirits, Rees tells how M
 arten and his radical allies overcame both moderate Parliamentarians a
 nd Royalists to change the face of England forever, establishing a kin
 gdom without a crown.\n \n John Rees is an historian, broadcaster a
 nd campaigner. He is coauthor of A People's History of London and aut
 hor of The Leveller Revolution and Timelines: A Political History of 
 the Modern World, among other titles. He is a Visiting Research Fellow
  at Goldsmith's, University of London and a National Officer of the St
 op the War Coalition. \n\n\n\nFor more information visit https://harr
