The Gunpowder Plot by Hugh Ross Williamson. This book has 300 compact pages explaining what happened almost 400 years ago in England when barrels of gunpowder were found under the House of Lords. A plot was undoubtedly discovered, but what kind of plot? Was it a conspiracy of Catholics against the Government or the Government against the Catholics? This is a fascinating story of intrigue and suspense—involving heroic actions, cowardly politics and unwavering faith. But even more fascinating is the fact that it is a true story. Hugh Ross Williamson writes a clear and exact account of one of the most controversial episodes of the English Reformation, but in a style interesting even to the casual reader. The book includes excellent End Notes. Includes illustrations, complete index, bibliography. Gold embossed imitation leather cover, cream paper, quality sewn signatures, 300 pages. |
