They were Jesuit priests, Englishmen, and their aim was to achieve by force of argument what the Armada had failed to do by force of arms: return England to the Catholic Church.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEighteen years later their mission would be shattered by the actions of the Gunpowder Plotters -- a small group of terrorists who famously tried to destroy the Houses of Parliament -- for the Jesuits were accused of having designed \"that most horrid and hellish conspiracy.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlice Hogge follows \"God's secret agents\" from their schooling on the Continent, through their perilous return journeys and lonely lives in hiding, to, ultimately, the gallows. She offers a remarkable true account of faith, duty, intolerance, and martyrdom -- the unforgettable story of men who would die for a cause undone by men who would kill for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alice Hogge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0060542284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780060542283\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper Perennial\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/13\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 488\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.30w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/09\/2006 pg. 19","brand":"Alice Hogge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946120151295,"sku":"9780060542283","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_77153c72-bd21-46f1-a14d-8e90a7f4bcb3.jpg?v=1681511644","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gods-secret-agents-alice-hogge-9780060542283","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
