The definitive account of the superior fighting force that powered
the English Revolution The New Model Army was one of the most
formidable fighting forces ever assembled. Formed in 1645, it was
crucial in overthrowing the monarchy and propelling one of its most
brilliant generals, Oliver Cromwell, to power during the English
Revolution. Paradoxically, it was also instrumental in restoring
the king in 1660. But the true nature of this army has long been
debated. In this authoritative history, Ian Gentles examines the
full scope of the New Model Army. As a fighting force it engineered
regicide, pioneered innovative military tactics, and helped to keep
Cromwell in power as Lord Protector until his death. All the while,
those within its ranks promoted radical political ideas inspired by
the Levellers and held dissenting religious beliefs. Gentles
explores how brilliant battlefield maneuvering and logistical
prowess contributed to its victories-and demonstrates the vital
role religion played in building morale and military effectiveness.
