Title: Cromwell in Ireland
First published: 1999
Description: "Oliver Cromwell spent just nine months in Ireland, from August 1649 to May 1650. His impact lasted for centuries. He completed the English conquest of Ireland, something that had eluded every English monarch since 1170.".

"Cromwell in Ireland is the first modern account of the campaign, set against the long history of the 1640s from the Ulster Catholic rebellion of 1641 to the execution of King Charles 1. Moreover, it completes the story by recounting the long mopping-up operation that followed Cromwell's own departure. Not until 1653 did the Cromwellians establish full control of the island. For the first time in history, Ireland lay completely under the sway of an English ruler."--BOOK JACKET.
