272pp. Colour illustrations. Pale blue endpapers. Orange cloth-covered boards with black titles on the spine (boards are strong, square and clean). Internally neat, clean, bright and tight. In its original dust jacket (very slightly bumped along lower edge). In 1568, the Seventeen Provinces in the Netherlands rebelled against the absolutist rule of the king of Spain. Their long struggle for liberty and the subsequent rise of the Dutch Republic was a decisive episode in world history and an important step on the path to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. And yet, it is a period in history rarely explored. This compelling retelling of the conflict, examines the key issues on both sides and why it took some eighty years to achieve peace. Features striking, rarely seen illustrations.
