1. 1. Devil Land

   England Under Siege, 1588-1688

   

   A vivid history of England from 1588 to 1688, seen largely through the eyes of foreign observers who regarded the kingdom as riven by religious conflict, conspiracy, and chronic instability. It follows the arc from the Spanish Armada through civil wars, regicide, the Commonwealth and Restoration, and the upheavals of plague, fire, and financial strain, showing how propaganda, fear, and international rivalry shaped politics and daily life until the constitutional settlement of the Glorious Revolution.
