3.0 out of 5 stars The Controversial Cromwell, April 22 2002

By A Customer

Fraser's book "Cromwell" is a very well written book about the life of a controversial man. Some people enjoyed his life and others hated it. I feel this would be a great book for anyone writing a paper on his military life or the English Revolution. She does a fairly good job in explaining his life as a military leader. This book also goes into great detail about his life. It almost gets to deep into his family and its history. I Liked the book and found alot of information on him during his reign over England. I found the book useful, because I was writing a term paper on the English Revolution, and it contained alot of the details I was looking to find. This book is not useful unless you are needing detailed information on Cromwell's life as a military leader.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very superficial
A lumbering biography of Oliver Cromwell - strange because I got no real feel for or understanding of Cromwell the man. Read more
