Although this is a very good book on the plot, I felt that to really enjoy this book one needed a reasonable grasp of late Elizabethan and early Stuart history, therefore while I wholeheartedly recommend this book anyone new to the subject is better advised to read Antonia Fraser's book on the plot first before reaching for this one. Rest assured that both are worth reading!

This book adds more to the story of the gunpowder plot, concentrating on the backdrop of European political history and English espionage far more than Fraser's work, which - although still excellently researched - sees things from a very human angle.

The book came quickly its not easy reading there are some unusual words but thats sensational for builing your vocabulary. There are many names that you need to keep track of in this book so you either need to be a bit of a historian or be prepaired to look up all these guys to keep track of whats going on but overall although not easy reading is an interesting book if your into studying this period of time.
