"This book is as disciplined, vivid and vigorous as the man it
celebrates. Gaunt offers a convincing interpretation of Cromwell's
life and a shrewd assessment of his achievement." John Morrill,
Vice Master and Reader in Early Modern History, Selwyn College,
Cambridge
"A carefully written and well argued account." The
Times
"A new and controversial account of one of the pivotal figures
in British history. This scholarly account is nonetheless
interesting and informative." Rachel Dickinson, Waterstone's,
Richmond, in The Bookseller
"A concise but thick-textured and comprehensive reconsideration
of a character, a career, a life and a reputation, making no claim
to be definitive - each generation commands its own reappraisal -
but ensured of an enduring place in the historiography." Ivan
Roots, Cromwelliana
"Serious and well researched." The Sunday Times
"Oliver Cromwell is a superb and scholarly biography, and
essential reading for any definitive study of 17th century British
and Irish history. Midwest Book Review
"The strength of Peter Gaunt's book is that it integrates Cromwell's military and political careers and deals seriously and sensitively with his religion. It is also well written. In his handling of Cromwell's battlefield exploits, Gaunt is superior to virtually all other recent biographers ... Gaunt has written the most useful biography since C. H. Firth's Oliver Cromwell and the Rule of the Puritans appeared in 1900." Albion
