Lady Antonia Fraser, the renowned historian, presents a captivating biography of Oliver Cromwell, a pivotal figure in England's past. This bestselling work aims to dispel the myths and propaganda surrounding Cromwell, offering a fresh perspective on this often misunderstood character.

Fraser paints a portrait of a man full of contradictions and unexpected charm. Whilst Cromwell was undoubtedly a formidable military leader and ruthless commander, he was also a country gentleman with a passion for music. The author leaves no doubt about Cromwell's suitability for high office, highlighting how English prestige abroad soared under his rule to levels unseen since Elizabeth I. However, his controversial campaign in Ireland continues to cast a long shadow over his legacy.

With remarkable insight, Fraser peels back the layers of this complex individual, revealing a Cromwell far removed from the stereotypical image. Her meticulous research and engaging prose bring to life a figure who, for better or worse, has left an indelible mark on the history of England.
