Greatness may come in strange guises and to unlikely human beings, but there are few more remarkable careers than that of Oliver Cromwell. In 1640 he was an unsuccessful country gentleman of modest local standing but he became one of England's greatest generals and its only republican head of state and has been revered or reviled by generations of Englishmen. He possessed no military training, no experience of battle or of generalship until he fought in the English Civil War. In less than three years he had become the most effective organizer of armies on the parliamentarian side and its most brilliant leader in battle. From Marston Moor in 1644 he was the architect of victory after victory. Giving an in-depth appraisal of Cromwell's unique gifts as a military leader of the calibre of Admiral Blake, Napoleon and Wellington, "God's General" is a useful addition to the literature on the Civil War and to our understanding of a remarkable and controversial Englishman.
