Oliver Cromwell John Drinkwater 9781115619486 Books Reviews
This was written in the late 19th century, and it shows. I like history texts to tell me who did what to whom. This does a very poor job of doing this. Victorian writing is, frankly boring and a real drag. Adkins books on WWII are examples of what I expect, very readable and Roocevelt's book most certainly is not

Ret. Army and history nut
A somewhat shallow treatise on Cromwell, which is a disappointment, considering other works by and about T.R. the man. However, T.R.'s unique prose is still worth the read, particularly for those who are not interested in an in-depth biography, but more-or-less an outline of Cromwell's public life and accomplishments. This is for fans of T.R., the writer.
Did not finish reading due to the complexity of the writing.
This is a fascinating period of English history which greatly influenced development of England as a world power. However, the narrative doen't flow well and I found it difficult to follow the "story" of events. A difficult and non-satisfying read.
too detailed, too hard to read - more info than I wanted - OK for professional historians - but made me wish i hadn't asked.
What a wonderful surprise this book that I happened upon was! Roosevelt takes us into seventeenth century England. He describes the state of political and religious affairs there and constantly makes things understandable by making comparisons to American history. He views Cromwell from every aspect and what he has to contend with. Struggles around early democratic thinking and religious liberty, what to do with a weak duplicitous King, how to deal with extremists, the vast majority wishing liberty for their own religion only. He describes his great generalship as well as his massive cruelty especially in Ireland. He looks at a people conditioned to obeying an absolute monarchy for centuries and in the end he becomes Lord Protector with absolute powers but he also lays the foundation for a democratic parliament and for real religious liberty which was brought to fruition much later.
Such a turbulent time in English history.
TR did a remarkable job of reporting and evaluating for posterity the events and effects of this turbulent time. I enjoyed his style.
In reading today's news of the ongoing troubles in Belfast, it makes me wonder if this was the beginning of this sad episode.

P.s. I did miss the illustrations by reading this book on kindle.
It is a play, it is short and a quick read. I was expecting a book, but who can complain when it is free. Not a whole lot of information, but a little insightful.
