"Oliver Cromwell (1599-1658) pindah dari yang sah ke peran yang karismatik, membalikkan arah yang diikuti oleh Washington. Namun ada kesamaan permukaan dalam karier mereka. Keduanya memimpin pemberontakan militer melawan raja-raja Inggris - Cromwell melawan Charles I, Washington melawan George III. Masing-masing mengambil milisi lokal - "kereta band" Cromwell, pungutan kolonial Washington - dan memalsukan tentara profesional dalam skala nasional. Masing-masing menanamkan etos baru dalam pasukannya - semangat keagamaan dalam kasus Cromwell, identitas Amerika pascakolonial di Washington."

--- Garry Wills

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Oliver Cromwell (1599-1658) moved from a legitimate to a charismatic role, reversing the course followed by Washington. Yet therewere surface similarities in their careers. Both led military rebellions against English monarchs--Cromwell against Charles I, Washington against George III. Each took local militia--the "train bands" of Cromwell, the colonial levies of Washington--and forged professional armies on a national scale. Each infused a new ethos in his troops--a religious spirit in Cromwell's case, a post-colonial American identity in Washington's.
