DescriptionEngland, Ireland, and Russia go at it in the persons of Oliver Cromwell, Daniel O'Connell, and Catherine the Great in this twelfth volume of the Meeting of Minds series. Steve Allen goofs by heralding Cromwell with the British anthem, "God Save the King, " only to be reminded by an angry Cromwell that he was the only ruler of England who was neither king or queen.
