The first full-scale study of the rule of Cromwell's major-generals
over England and Wales during 1655 and 1656. This is a period which
had a dramatic impact upon contemporaries and has remained a
powerful symbol of military rule down to the present day. Contains
chapters on the three most important aspects of the major-generals'
work: the collection of the decimation tax; the attempt to improve
the security of the regime; and the struggle to build the 'Godly
Nation'. Concludes with an investigation of the 1656 election and
the major-generals subsequent unexpected fall from power. Fills a
major gap in the historiography of Cromwellian England. -- .
