description: A military history of Oliver Cromwell's campaign of conquest in Ireland from 1649-1650. Wheeler (European history West Point US Military Academy) tells the story from a perspective that unifies the political and economic histories of England Ireland and Wales. He argues that it was Cromwell's logistical organization and strategic maneuvering that was the major reason for his military success. Additional chapters describe the Catholic struggle for toleration in a Stuart kingdom from 1641 to 1649 as well as the completion of the Cromwellian conquest by subordinates after his departure from Ireland.
