Cromwell's Navy

'This book has reclaimed the navy from the specialist naval historians and will do much to integrate it into future discussions about the development of radicalism during the civil war and its continuation during the Commonwealth. Capp demonstrates convincingly that the navy played a crucial part in the events of 1659 and early 1660.' Anne Laurence, The Open University, History, No. 246, Feb 1991

Zusammenfassung
This is the first study of the Navy during the English Revolution, arguing that the Commonwealth Navy was deeply influenced by the revolutionary circumstances of its origins. It provides a richly detailed insight into a neglected aspect of the period and charts the Navy's central role in the struggle to win foreign recognition for the new regime.
