I appreciate the publisher allowing me to read this book. I found the subject matter really interesting. The book was well written and easy to understand. I highly recommend this book.

This account of four Roundhead military leaders was written in the 1930s, and shows it both stylistically - there's some rather purple prose here, and a lot of run-on sentences - and in the author's frank partiality toward certain people and politics. Once you adapt to the writing style it is decently informative though, and it is genuinely quite pleasant to read aloud.

A rollicking and truculent journey through the events of the Cromwellian epoch & a compelling portrait of four English soldiers who helped Oliver Cromwell to successfuly shape and manage his Puritan Revolution.
Originally published in 1938, it paints a detailed picture of four seasoned professional soldiers and their individual journeys, military achievements and personal contributions to the political earthquake that shook and profoundly affected English society halfway through the 17th century. A book higly recommended to anyone interested in that historical period, its upheavals and all the political, military and religious shenanigans swirling around the Lord Protector's rule until his untimely death in 1658.

Many thanks to Netgalley and Sapere Books for this terrific ARC
