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. Scott Wheeler's panoramic survey history of these crucial years in Anglo-Irish relations is the first narrative overview of the subject in modern times and is informed by the author's specialist training as a military historian.
