Book Description
Oliver Cromwell spent just nine months in Ireland, from August 1649 to May 1650, but his impact lasted for centuries. This is the first modern account of his campaign to complete the English conquest of Ireland, something which had eluded every English monarch since 1170. The book sets out the history of the 1640s from the Ulster Catholic rebellion of 1641 to the execution of King Charles I, and completes the story by recounting the long cleanup operation that followed Cromwell's departure. Wheeler's panoramic survey of these crucial years in Anglo-Irish relations is the first narrative overview of the subject in modern times.
