Originally published in 1987, this book compares and contrasts the
characters and careers of two great protagonists in the English
Civil War and its aftermath. The book shows how Charles I and
Oliver Cromwell were confronted with the same problems and
therefore, to a surprisingly large extent, were obliged to deal
with them in much the same kind of way. The book re-examines their
military methods, their approaches to religion, their diplomatic
manoeuvres, their domestic policies and the manner in which they
handled their parliaments. Above all, it considers how their vastly
different personalities determined their actions. Finally it
debates how far a revolution, of which Cromwell was the instrument
and Charles the victim, can be said to have taken place in the
mid-seventeenth century or whether what occurred was simply a
political rebellion sparked off by religious passion.
