'This volume represents a substantial addition to our knowledge of Cromwell and the period... Above all, it places Cromwell in his context, his position within a wider military machine, his influence on Ireland after his return to England, and it helps to understand his role in the collective memory.'Coleman A. Dennehy, The Seventeenth Century
