This was my 27th book finished in 2024.

The text, for the majority was well-written and easy to understand; some other Penguin Monarch titles are definitely not like that.

Unfortunately, I just found it quite dry and dull. Obviously, there was a lot of military talk, but not so much of other specific things (y'know, the only things I actually know about Cromwell). 

I thought the author weirdly justified some of the bad things Cromwell did. It's okay that he massacred innocent people, because everyone did at the time (and they did it much more in Europe). 

I don't think the Civil War is my cup of tea. I'm definitely a Restoration Era girlie.
