Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The Push of Pike: Benburb 1646 and the Destruction of the Scottish Army in UlsterIn 1642, Scotland sent a professional army to Ulster with grand ambitions: to suppress Catholic rebellion, protect Protestant settlers, and create a Presbyterian kingdom under Scottish control. Seven years later, the expedition lay in ruins, destroyed not by a single catastrophe but by a cascade of failures-political division, financial collapse, and military disaster.This meticulously researched history reconstructs the Scottish Covenanter intervention in Ireland from its confident beginning through its catastrophic end. At the heart of the story lies the Battle of Benburb in June 1646, where Owen Roe O'Neill's Confederate army shattered Robert Monro's Scottish forces in one of the seventeenth century's most complete military victories. Yet this book reveals how the battle itself was merely a symptom of deeper failures: chronic underfunding, Protestant disunity, and strategic miscalculation.Drawing on military archives, contemporary accounts, and recent scholarship, the narrative moves between grand strategy and intimate human experience, examining both commanders' decisions and common soldiers' suffering. The work demonstrates how the expedition's military and political failure paradoxically succeeded in creating Ulster's enduring Presbyterian community-a demographic transformation that would shape Ireland for centuries. This is essential reading for understanding the Wars of the Three Kingdoms and the origins of Ulster's sectarian divisions. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
