Cromwell - Michael Naseby

Oliver Cromwell remains one of English history’s most complex figures. He is often remembered for presiding over the execution of King Charles I and bringing centuries of monarchical rule to an abrupt end. However, far less attention is given to his role in shaping the principles of parliamentary government that followed. This book seeks to redress that balance. It presents Cromwell as a courageous military commander, a committed Puritan and a politician driven by his belief in fair and accountable representation. It has been meticulously researched by Lord Naseby who, drawing on his own experience of more than fifty years in Parliament, paints a vivid and sympathetic view of Cromwell. It reveals the contradictions of his character, the convictions that guided him and the legacy he left behind — a legacy that continues to influence the workings of Westminster and the democratic life of the United Kingdom today.
