Oliver Cromwell (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

by Theodore Roosevelt

Overview

Oliver Cromwell (1599-1658) overthrew the English monarchy and turned England into a short-lived Commonwealth. Drawing comparisons to the American Revolution and Civil War, the inimitable TR finds justification for Cromwell’s revolt against the tyrannical rule of the Stuarts. He calls Cromwell an early warrior for freedom, but finds fault with his inability to compromise.
