- Double-weighted statement
- This 270-page book answers the hitherto unexplored question of how Oliver Cromwell learned soldiering. It was written over 10 years using over a hundred individual pamphlets newsbooks, diaries and collections of letters including materials written by Cromwell, his associates and observers, held primarily in Huntingdon Record Office, York Central Library and the British Library. This enabled a unique focus on the relationship between Cromwell’s developing battlefield experience and the military revolution’s manuals of instruction, and combined with substantial time given to battlefield walking, demonstrates precisely the origins of Cromwell’s exceptional ability to read topography and act decisively upon that understanding.
