Cromwell

No Englishman has had a greater impact on the history of his nation (except, perhaps, Winston Churchill), and no one has been more consistently misunderstood and misrepresented. Acclaimed historian Antonia Fraser produces an outstanding biography of the complex and enigmatic Oliver Cromwell - the young radical agitator on behalf of the poor commoners, the confident and victorious general during the Civil War, the nervous politiciain on the eve of King Charles's execution, and the man who, in a savage outburst of Puritan hatred, commanded the massacre of a thousand people in the streets.
