Gunpowder Plots: A Celebration of 400 years of British Carelessness with Explosives
Author(s): Brenda Buchanan
400 years ago this November the most ambitious and extraordinary plot ever conceived in England came close to success: the attempt by Guy Fawkes and his fellow conspirators to destroy in a single, annihilating blast the entire British ruling class and royal family.
This book draws on the expertise of different writers to bring to life the immense implications of the Plot and the strange way they have echoed down to us over four centuries in what remains the quintessential English festival.
