Cromwell spent only nine months of his eventful life in Ireland,
yet he stands accused there of war crimes, religious persecution
and ethnic cleansing. In a century of unrelenting, bloody warfare
and religious persecution throughout Europe, Cromwell was, in many
ways, a product of his times. As commander-in-chief of the army in
Ireland, however, the responsibilities for the excesses of the
military must be laid firmly at his door, while the harsh nature of
the post-war settlement also bears his personal imprint. A warrior
of Christ, somewhat like the crusaders of medieval Europe, he acted
as God's executioner, convinced throughout the horrors of the
legitimacy of his cause, and striving to build a better world for
the chosen few.
