This booklet is a printed version of a lecture first given to the Protestant Reformation Society. Events before, during and after Cromwell's Protectorate are described in an orderly and helpful way with some occasional comment on the historical events. Cromwell, always a controversial figure, emerges with a judicious balance of praise and criticism.

Nearly half of the booklet is used to describe events leading to the years of Cromwell's power. This tilts the balance of the story unhelpfully, given the space available. For example, it was not really necessary even to mention the Gunpowder Plot.
