The book provides an in-depth analysis of the Cromwellian Protectorate from December 1653 to May 1659, addressing a significant gap in historical research. It explores various aspects, including the British and Irish contexts of the Protectorate Parliaments, factional politics, management challenges, legal and judicial functions, and foreign policy. The study also investigates the dynamics between Oliver and Richard Cromwell and the Parliaments, ultimately detailing the factors that led to the Protectorate's decline. This thorough examination is essential for historians of early modern British political history.
