From 1649 to 1660 England was ruled by a standing army for the only time in its history. This study describes the nature of that experience, both for members of the army and for civilian society. It offers new perspectives on Oliver Cromwell, the major-generals, and the reasons for the restoration of the Stuart monarchy in 1660.
