In Cromwell, award-winning biographer Antonia Fraser tells of one of England's most celebrated and controversial figures, often misunderstood and demonized as a puritanical zealot. Oliver Cromwell rose from humble beginnings to spearhead the rebellion against King Charles I, who was beheaded in 1649, and led his soldiers into the last battle against the Royalists and King Charles II at Worcester, ending the civil war in 1651. Fraser shows how England's prestige and prosperity grew under Cromwell, reversing the decline it had suffered since Queen Elizabeth I's death.

@Joanne_Paul_ Frederick the Great (of Prussia not the HRE) by Nancy Mitford, Antonia Fraser on Cromwell are two that come to mind

Writer. And an OG verified blue check.

@Joanne_Paul_ This made me think: Antonia Fraser wrote bios of Cromwell and Charles II, the latter not a "great man." But no women have written a bio of Churchill that I can think of.
