Oliver Cromwell, by John Buchan
€10.00

Quay Books
In his biography of Oliver Cromwell (1599 – 1658), John Buchan sets out to redress many misconceived popular opinions of this English soldier and statesman.
Concentrating primarily on Cromwell as a military strategist, Buchan charts his rise from obscure country MP to become the leading general in the English Civil War, and eventually Lord Protector, King in all but name, following the execution of Charles I.
As a novelist, Buchan knows how to tell a good story and through his readable style the 17th Century world of Roundheads and Cavaliers is vividly brought to life.
“He has made dry bones live… Through this book walks a man” - The Evening Standard
