I'd read a new biography, but I'm a history nerd :)

What is it? I don't see anything new that isn't popular history, except The Death of Oliver Cromwell (which probably is popular history).

I didn't mean there IS a new one, just that I'd read it if there was.

Hahahah I can't tell the difference between past perfect and conditional! As far as I can determine from a quick look in our library, there hasn't been any new scholarship (in book form) on Cromwell since the '70s, which is shocking. Though it does look like a few popular biographies (e.g. Antonia Frasier) have been released since then.
