Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the tumultuous final years of Oliver Cromwell's rule as Lord Protector of England, a period marked by both internal strife and international conflict. The author, drawing on a wealth of primary sources, delves into the complexities of Cromwell's political maneuvering, his efforts to balance military authority with the aspirations of Parliament, and the evolving landscape of English society under his rule. The book examines the Protector's attempts to reconcile his own political ambitions with the various factions vying for power, including the Royalists, the Levellers, and the republican "Commonwealths men". The author sheds light on the events surrounding Cromwell's second Parliament, including the controversial exclusion of members deemed disloyal to the Protectorate, and the debate surrounding the possibility of a monarchy. Through detailed accounts of both domestic politics and foreign policy, including the war with Spain and Cromwell's involvement in the Northern War, the book paints a vivid picture of a period of intense social and political upheaval, revealing the challenges and complexities of establishing a stable and lasting government in England in the aftermath of the Civil War. The author's meticulous research provides a rich and insightful narrative that helps us to understand the forces that shaped this crucial chapter in English history.
