Book Description

30 April 2010
On 1 May 1820, outside Newgate Prison, in front of a dense crowd, five of the Cato Street conspirators - Arthur Thistlewood, William Davidson, James Ings, Richard Tidd and John Brunt - were hanged for high treason. Then they were decapitated in the last brutal act of a murderous conspiracy that aimed to assassinate Prime Minister Lord Liverpool and his cabinet and destroy his government. The Cato Street conspirators matched the Gunpowder plotters in their daring - and in their fate - but their dark, radical intrigue hasn t received the attention it deserves. M.J. Trow, in this gripping fast-moving account of this notorious but neglected episode in British history, reconstructs the case in vivid detail and sets it in the wider context of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars

2.0 out of 5 stars Dull and uninteresting 6 Jun 2010
Format:Hardcover
Although Wharncliffe Books are notorious for their enormous output of low quality true crime books, I took a chance on this one being an exception. Not so, it turned out: it is dull and unengaging, and seems to have been written in a hurry. The now out-of-print 'The Cato Street Conspiracy' by John Stanhope makes more sense than this one.

I devoured this book. The writing is wonderfully done. Not a boring moment. I will definitely read more from Mr. Trow.
