Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. The shooting of Prince William of Orange by a French Catholic in 1584 had immediate political consequences; it was a serious setback for the Protestant cause in the Netherlands, as its forces fought for independence from the Catholic rule of the Hapsburg Empire. But as Lisa Jardine demonstrates in The Awful End of Prince William the Silent, its ramifications were even more far-reaching. The handgun, a new weapon that could be easily concealed and yet do great harm, heralded the arrival of a lethal new threat to the security of nations. Jardine demonstrates that William's assassination was the first in a long and bloody line that would include President Lincoln in 1865 and Archduke Ferdinand in 1914, and be echoed in the acts of terror taking place around the world today.Lisa Jardine is the author of The Curious Life of Robert Hooke: The Man who Measured London and On a Grander Scale: The Outstanding Life and Tumultuous Times of Sir Christopher Wren. She is professor of Renaissance studies at Queen Mary, University of London, and Director of the AHRB Research Centre for Editing Lives and Letters there. She is also an Honorary Fellow of King's College, Cambridge, and has judged many literary awards, including the Orange Prize and the Booker Prize."Brisk and splendidly told . Jardine's book is popular narrative at its best -- quick, sure, detailed and broadly entertaining." -- Newsday.…
