Description
Britain’s most popular historian uncovers the truth about Guy Fawkes’ plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament.
With a narrative that grips the reader like a detective story, Antonia Fraser brings the characters and events of the Gunpowder Plot to life. Dramatically recreating the conditions and motives that surrounded the fateful night of 5 November 1605, she unravels the tangled web of religion and politics that spawned the plot. ‘Told with impressive scholarship and panache…The result is a narrative that is clear, balanced, and builds to its denouement with a sense of pace and tension worthy of a John le Carre novel’ John Adamson, Sunday Telegraph (Google review)
