Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
Every child has heard of Guy Fawkes and will most likely have watched a guy being burnt on a bonfire and fireworks lighting up the night sky on Bonfire Night. This book answers the questions of history that lie behind the celebrations of 5 November.
Who was Guy Fawkes and how did he come to be below the chamber of the House of Lords in the first hour of 5 November 1605? What desperation drove those involved to plan a horrific massacre of the Protestant royal family and government?
Alan Haynes s probing analysis offers the clearest, most balanced view yet of often conflicting evidence, as he disentangles the threads of disharmony, intrigue, betrayal, terror and retribution.
In this new, updated edition he gathers together startling evidence to uncover the depth and extent of the plot, and how close the plotters came to de-stabilising the government in one of the most notorious terrorist plots of British history.
This enthralling book will grip the general reader, while the scope of its detailed research will require historians of the period to consider again the commanding importance of the plot throughout the seventeenth century.
Alan Haynes is a prolific writer on Elizabethan and 17th-century history. A member of the Royal Historical Society, his other books include The Elizabethan Secret Services and Sex in Elizabethan England.
