From 1649-1660 England was ruled by a standing army for the only
time in its history. In The Army in Cromwellian England Henry Reece
describes, for the first time, the nature of that experience, both
for members of the army and for civilian society.
Split into three parts, the first section looks at the size of the
army, its material needs, promotion structure, and political
engagement to provide a sense of the day-to-day reality of being
part of a standing army. The second part considers the impact of
the military presence on society by establishing where soldiers
were quartered, how they were paid, the material burden that they
represented, the divisive effects of the army's patronage of
religious radicals, and the extensive involvement of army officers
in the government of the localities. The final section re-evaluates
the army's role in the political events from Cromwell's death to
the restoration of the Stuart monarchy, and explains why the army
crumbled so pitifully in the last months of the Commonwealth.
