Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the tumultuous years of the English Commonwealth and the rise of Oliver Cromwell. Through the personal experiences of the author, Edmund Ludlow, a prominent figure in the Parliamentarian army, the book sheds light on the political machinations, military campaigns, and social turmoil that shaped England in the mid-17th century. The author, a staunch defender of the republican ideals of the Commonwealth, provides a first-hand account of Cromwell's gradual consolidation of power, his ambitious moves to establish a monarchy for himself and his family, and the growing disillusionment among those who had initially supported him. The book delves into the complex interplay of religion and politics, exploring the competing ideologies of the time, including the Fifth Monarchy movement, and examines the tensions between those who sought to establish a reformed Christian government and those who prioritized individual liberty and representative governance. Ludlow's vivid narrative provides a powerful and insightful portrait of this pivotal period in English history, revealing the human cost of political ambition and the struggle to find a balance between religious zeal and political pragmatism.
