4.0 out of 5 stars
A powerful, albeit circumstantial, case, January 1, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Death of Oliver Cromwell (Hardcover)
I disagree with Jay Freeman's assessment of this book. The author meticulously reconstructs Cromwell's last days and reveals the royalist Dr. Bate's account as a tissue of lies and misrepresentations. While the verdict might well be a Scotch one (that is, "not proven"), McMains makes a strong if not absolutely convincing case for poisoning.
