It seeks to demonstrate how the book represents a major turning point in his intellectual development and offers, with the wisdom of hindsight, a highly positive account of its ambition and achievement. It then seeks to explain why the books received a much less enthusiastic set of reviews than earlier and later books. It is, the essay concludes, a book that was either published too early or too late.

It looks at the silence of the records and seeks to interrogate that silence: the silence that lies behind texts that are so meretricious to have lain unused; texts that used coded language that need to be explained, and the silence that is imposed by the winners but which draws attention to itself and is capable of revealing the secrets it seeks to hide. The essay offers major new interpretations of Cromwell's (radical) life before 1640, of his role at the Putney Debates and in the trial and execution of Charles I, and of how close attention to his biblical rhetoric reveals important aspects of his thought and action.

It concludes with a reflection on what has survived of lasting value and what informs current thinking about the origins and course of the British civil wars or mid-seventeenth-century British revolution.
