The Glorious Year
2021
This chapter finds Oliver Cromwell in a valuable but highly precarious position. After the Midlands campaign, he had suddenly made the jump to commanding the horse division in Parliament's main, consolidated, field army, and done so under a commander who enthusiastically valued and supported him. If he were to retain the position for more than a month or two, however, he had rapidly to prove his worth in it. Yet prove it he did, for after being plucked from the verge of retirement into a new and glorious command, he had already achieved sensational results. A possible indefinite future as a general had now been opened up for him. Although his new position had an insecurity which no other officer of the New Model had to endure, and which ensured that he would be removed as soon as he ceased to shine in it.
Book Chapter
The Year of Victories, 1645–46
2022
This chapter first recounts the New Model Army's unpromising start—political infighting, poor strategy, and administrative delay. Parliament's fortunes were at their lowest ebb since 1643. The chapter then follows how Sir Thomas Fairfax's Council of War chose this juncture to urge that Oliver Cromwell be nominated to the vacant lieutenant-generalship of the cavalry. The Commons—though not the Lords—quickly agreed to the request, a mere four days before battle was joined at Naseby. The chapter then narrates the contemporary narratives of the battle of Naseby and the central role of Fairfax and Cromwell. It also discusses the south-western campaign and summer campaign. The chapter then assesses the major conquests of the New Model and royalist resistance: Bridgwater, Bath, Sherborne, Bristol, Basing, Tiverton, Dartmouth and Torrington. It considers one major fortress in royalist hands: Oxford.

Portrait of a tree change
2006
As an artist esteemed for his expressive portraits -- some of which are in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery in Canberra -- [David Naseby] is surprised that he recently found his most individual \"mark\" through the genre of landscape painting. Yarrawonga is noted for its golf courses, and Naseby was there to play with friends. But having landed most of his shots in the Murray, Naseby went for a drive in a hire car. \"I skidded straight into this big tree which stopped me from going into the river,\" Naseby says. While waiting for the tow truck, Naseby sketched the dead, twisted trees by the side of the long- suffering Murray.

Facing our history
2008
The [John Gorton] portrait is by Sydney artist David Naseby, whose works have hung in the Archibald Prize. The Gorton portrait was rejected from the 1996 prize, although it did hang in the Salon des Refuses. Naseby recalls the first sitting in Gorton's Vaucluse home, where Sir John, then aged 85, asked that he be called \"John\". \"We arrived about 11 o'clock and within minutes John had offered me a drink, saying he was about to have one,\" Naseby says. \"As I was quite nervous, I accepted and he came back minutes later with a glass which would have held at least four fingers of scotch.\"

Dusty dons
2001
The play's problem is firstly that it would work far better on television or radio, and secondly, that it has been written about 50 years too late. Scales exemplifies the kind of Sixties Oxbridge spinster who would devote her life to a brilliant, but unattainable male don. Although the female student's allegations spark off the play's action, the real core of the drama lies in [Anne Hatton]'s love for [Edgar Naseby] and her burning desire to protect his genius. The academic politics and corruption of the external examiner are mere details: this is a distinctly pre-feminist tale of selfless adoration.
