Title: Cromwell from Every Side
Product review: In this masterful biography, Ashley presents us not only with the life of the man Cromwell, but also with the entire spectrum of political and religious elements surrounding it, without which any picture of the Lord Protector's life is hopelessly incomplete. We are presented with more than just the tyrannical dictator of so many high school and college textbooks; Cromwell emerges as an enlightened despot, so to speak, struggling against the rising momentum of a movement he helped start, but with which he now no longer knows what to do. Anyone who reads this work will not only be forced to challenge their current understanding of the man and his influence, but will also come to love and pity, and be amazed, at the man in his entirety.
