Sull'Autore

Ian Gentles synthesizes much recent research including Cromwell's activity as a lay preacher, his patronage of the arts and his promotion of horse breeding. Gentles also provides fresh findings on Cromwell's pay as a soldier, his personal enrichment as General and Lord Protector, his little-known mostra altro erotic side, and his astonishing generosity in the cause of international Protestantism. At the same time, this approachable study provides a new assessment of Cromwell's genius as a soldier and sheds light on the suspenseful drama surrounding parliament's offer of the crown in 1657. Ian Gentles is Visiting Professor of History at Tyndale University College, Canada. His previous publications include The New Model Army in England, Ireland and Scotland, 1645-1653, and The English Revolution and the Wars of the Three Kingdoms, 1638-1652. mostra meno

The book suffers from the lack of background information and context regarding people and events during Oliver Cromwell time. It is perfect for somebody who is totally fluent in the history of that period and doesn't need any other references. Otherwise, the book covers life of Oliver Cromwell very well, providing some interesting perspectives - like Cromwell's firm belief in providence, that was guiding many of his decisions.
