"No Englishman has had a greater impact on the history of his nation. None has been more consistently misunderstood, misrepresented, maligned. He called himself 'Oliver Protector." Others called him traitor, usurper, seditionist, regicide, tyrant - narrowminded, philistine, hypocritical, cruel. Still others found him broadminded, tolerant, passionately religious, ferociously moral, a wise and accomplished leader, possessed of uncanny insight into the attitudes and actions of those around him. No one can dispute his greatness. But what was he? The author . . . gives us a magnificent biography of complex, enigmatic Oliver Cromwell" [from the dust jacket].
