The fruit of twelve years’ intensive research and based on Spanish and Dutch documents from archive and private collections from all over Europe, The Dutch Revolt takes into account religious and economic, as well as political, factors, demonstrating the intricate links that tied the fate of the Netherlands to that of Spain, in an age when ‘particularism was more potent than patriotism’.
