The first new biography of Oliver Cromwell in several years, this
rounded account does equal justice to his public and private life,
to his political career, his military abilities and his passionate
religiosity. Ian Gentles synthesizes much recent research including
Cromwell's activity as a lay preacher, his patronage of the arts
and his promotion of horsebreeding. Gentles also provides fresh
findings on Cromwell's pay as a soldier, his personal enrichment as
general and lord protector, his little-known 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. Ideal for students and general readers alike, this is an
essential and stimulating introduction to all aspects of the life
of a key figure in British history.
