The fifteen-year period between 1645 and 1660 was one of the most
dynamic in British history, during which the republican
Commonwealth and Cromwellian Protectorate attempted to create a new
type of 'Godly' state after the execution of Charles I. Drawing on
the latest research and established sources, as well as the works
and diaries of contemporaries such as John Evelyn, Lucy Hutchinson
and Samuel Pepys, A Sword for Christ offers a new and stimulating
perspective on these extraordinary years. Key personalities such as
Sir Thomas Fairfax, the Marquis of Argyll, Charles II and, of
course, Oliver Cromwell himself - one of the most contentious
figures in history - are re-appraised and brought vividly to life.
In addition to exploring the religious and political debates which
shaped the era and the military culture which defined it, the book
also considers how society was profoundly affected by the upheaval
caused by the civil wars; the relations between what was
essentially an English republic and its Irish and Scottish
neighbours; and the ethos of the New Model Army and the navy.
