Description

Oliver Cromwell: Commander in Chief by Ronald Hutton In the aftermath of the first civil war, the Parliamentarians found themselves at a stalemate, with disagreements over the way forward threatening to tear them apart. It was then that Oliver Cromwell, the leader of one party, once again found himself at the centre of events. This second volume of Hutton's acclaimed biography chronicles Cromwell's career from 1647 through to his seizure of supreme power, a period marked by the execution of Charles I, the establishment of the Commonwealth of England, and notorious campaigns in Ireland and Scotland. Cromwell's political and military leadership had been honed over years of practice, but it was also a time of great ruthlessness and brutality. Hutton's groundbreaking account reveals a different side of Cromwell, one who navigated the many forces ranged against him and rose to the pinnacle of his power. This is a fascinating and complex portrayal of one of history's most pivotal figures.
