Dr Stephen Bull is a museum curator and university external
examiner who straddles the divide between the 'serious' and what
most of the world actually wants to read. Interested in history
from an early age he studied at the University of Wales, and has
previously worked at the BBC and National Army Museum in London.
Now Curator of Military History and Archaeology for Lancashire
County Museums, he has curated a number of exhibitions as well as
completing an MBA, and been elected to the Institute for
Archaeologists. His work is published on both sides of the Atlantic
and translated into a variety of languages. Recently he was listed
for the Portico Prize for Literature.
Stephen has made many TV and radio appearances, and at time of
writing is working with Definition Media on a new UK TV series. In
2011 he collaborated with Impossible Pictures on 'Last War Heroes',
writing the book to accompany this well received Channel 4
production which has been broadcast in the UK, US, and Canada.
Having been a lecturer or examiner with several North West
universities he is now a consultant to the University of Oxford,
where he is assisting in the creation of a European database to
document the individual experience of the First World War through
archives, photographs, and objects. The photograph shows Stephen

Required reading for early modern industrial and military

*SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY NEWS*
An excellent contribution to the study of the English Civil War,
and early modern warfare in general, and will almost certainly
become a standard reference for historians of both.
*JOURNAL OF THE SOCIETY FOR ARMY HISTORICAL RESEARCH*
The book brings together the technical, the military, the
industrial and the strategic, to provide a rounded account of a
fascinating subject. It also acts as a powerful statement of the
importance of military history in making sense of the bigger
picture.
*CROMWELLIANA*
Scholars of British military history and weapon development will
appreciate the detailed maps, chronology and extensive
appendices.
*SCITECH BOOKS*
An important book, which questions many assumptions and should make
its author very proud.

An excellently researched and well-written book with clearly
explained argument and supporting evidence.
