The Protector - The Life of Oliver Cromwell by J H Merle D'Aubigne and published by Classics.
Whether viewed as subjugator or protector, Oliver Cromwell was a titan of 17th century England. French theologian Merle D'Aubigné wrote this 1847 biography for one purpose: "rectification of the common opinion with regard to Cromwell's religious character."And rectify he does. Working from Cromwell's letters and speeches, he reveals the Protector to be a man of prayer and Bible study, exceedingly devout, consecrated to God and a devoted family man. A masterful biography from one of the fore-most historians of the Reformation era.
