Download or read book Cromwell as a Soldier written by T S Baldock and published by . This book was released on 2017-09-04 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A unique edition enhanced by battlefield maps Although this is a book created for students of military history, everyone who knows anything of the history of Britain is aware of the colossal influence of Oliver Cromwell. He was the towering figure among the Parliamentarian forces during the English Civil War, a significant contributor to the creation of the incomparable New Model Army, central to the regicide of Charles I, and a political giant who would become the Lord Protector of England, Scotland and Ireland. In effect, from comparatively obscure origins Cromwell rose to become the undisputed military dictator of his nation. This substantial book is not yet another biography of Oliver Cromwell, for it focus's entirely on the military career of this remarkable man, and follows him throughout his time as a battlefield commander. His part in and influence over the engagements in which he took part is described in some detail which includes first hand reports by Cromwell and others. This highly recommended book is an invaluable reference work for anyone interested in the conflict that was England's Civil War, or, indeed, in the waging of war in the 17th century.

Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their spines and fabric head and tail bands.

Book Synopsis Following in the Footsteps of Oliver Cromwell by : James Hobson
Download or read book Following in the Footsteps of Oliver Cromwell written by James Hobson and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2019-05-30 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A unique biography of the military commander and politician who remains one of Britain’s most controversial figures centuries after his death. One of the most important figures in British history, Oliver Cromwell was both soldier and politician and the only non-Royal ruler of Britain in a thousand years. His actions and ideas still have political and social consequences today, and his legacy still divides people. Love him or loathe him, Cromwell still matters. This book is a history of his life through the places in Britain and Ireland where he lived, visited, ruled, or fought. Following in the Footsteps of Oliver Cromwell begins in Huntingdon in 1599, with the respectable but unimportant Cromwell family living under the shadow of richer relatives. Civil War and Cromwell’s controversial successes at Marston Moor, Naseby, Basing House, and Worcester transform him into the most powerful person in Britain, saving him from obscurity and moving him from a modest house in Ely to Hampton Court Palace. Cromwell is involved in the execution of King Charles I outside the Banqueting House, his own coronation in Westminster Hall, and bloody slaughter in Ireland. Even his death in 1658 does not end the controversy—as his enemies take revenge on his corpse and the debate about his legacy begins.

Book Synopsis Cromwell: Portrait of a Soldier by : John Gillingham
Download or read book Cromwell: Portrait of a Soldier written by John Gillingham and published by . This book was released on 2015-12-07 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oliver Cromwell was more than just a fine soldier. A man of outstanding gifts and forceful intellect, he saw more keenly than any other Civil War general the need for a new kind of warfare. He saw that the rules of seventeenth-century warfare, as practised on the continent, were inappropriate to conditions in England and, with a politician's eye, he saw the importance of bringing the war to a swift conclusion. Decisive in seeking battle and ruthless in pursuit, Cromwell's aggressive, Napoleonic style of warfare quickly established his reputation as a military commander of genius. The early years of the Civil War witnessed not only his military apprenticeship - for unlike most of his colleagues and opponents he had no experience of war - but also the forging of the instrument with which the Civil War was won. The cavalry regiments of the Eastern Association and the New Model Army were largely Cromwell's work. With these hand-picked, well trained and disciplined troops Cromwell was possessed of an advantage denied to otherwise skilled commanders like Waller. Soldier, politician, statesman - Cromwell is most frequently compared with Caesar and Napoleon. All of them in the last resort owed their rise to their military skill. In Cromwell's case, given the circumstances of the first forty years of his life, this was an extraordinary, almost inexplicable talent. But like it or not, this pious, slovenly, middle-aged country gentleman came to live by the sword. John Gillingham is Emeritus Professor of Medieval History at the London School of Economics and Political Science. On 19 July 2007 he was elected into the Fellowship of the British Academy. He is renowned as an expert on the Angevin empire. His other titles include 'The Wars of the Roses'. Endeavour Press is the UK's leading independent publisher of digital books.
Book Synopsis Cromwellos Army - The English Soldier 1642-1660 by : C. H. Frith
Download or read book Cromwellos Army - The English Soldier 1642-1660 written by C. H. Frith and published by . This book was released on 2004-07-01 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until Oliver Cromwell s New Model Army set the standard for the British Army Britain was badly served by her land forces. The fleet had protected this island from invasion, and had it not been effective and reasonably efficient there is little doubt that a determined force of moderate size could have landed, and captured the seat of government in London with little resistance from the land forces of James I or Charles I. This book looks at the army Cromwell built, and how it was organised, trained and how it operated. Firth gives the background to the military situation on the eve of the English Civil War, and then explains why the New Model Army was needed, both by Cromwell and by the nation. He delves into the infantry, the cavalry and the artillery and gives a good account of siege warfare, still a part of operational technique. Firth goes on to give details of the administration of the army: how it was paid, how it was fed and watered, how it was clothed, equipped and mounted. He also describes the social aspects of this army - care of the wounded and old soldiers (something completely revolutionary), and he accounts for the discipline in the army. Last of all he looks at religion and politics in the army. of which much has been written, and which here is explained in the most straightforward manner, something that many modern writers fail to do.

Book Synopsis Cromwell's Buffoon by : Robert Hodkinson
Download or read book Cromwell's Buffoon written by Robert Hodkinson and published by Century of the Soldier. This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colonel Thomas Pride was central to one of the English Civil War's key events: the arrest and exclusion of 140 Members of Parliament at Westminster in December 1648. Those that remained in the House of Commons - the Rump - voted to bring King Charles I to trial, resulting in the first and only public execution of a British Monarch. But while this monumental episode of early modern history - "Pride's Purge" - is renowned, the life of the army officer behind it remains shrouded in obscurity. Cromwell's Buffoon is a detailed and engaging account of the life of soldier and regicide, Colonel Thomas Pride, a Somerset farmer's son who fought his way through the Civil Wars to become one of the English Commonwealth's most forceful personalities. Robert Hodkinson's lively and authoritative study charts Thomas Pride's rise from businessman and brewer, through his association with London Puritanism, the experiences of the seventeenth century battlefield, obtaining military command through army mutiny, to finally brushing aside accusations of hypocrisy self-gain to claim ownership of a former Royal estate and a seat in Oliver Cromwell's House of Lords. Cromwell's Buffoon is a ground-breaking examination of why and how a former apprentice boy rose in status to challenge the ruling elite and affect the death of a monarch. The first full-length biography of its subject, it is a fascinating story of a man who, until now, had all but vanished from history.
