{"product_id":"protagonists-of-war-raymond-fagel-9789462702875","title":"Protagonists of War: Spanish Army Commanders and the Revolt in the Low Countries","description":"\u003cp\u003eJuli疣 Romero, Sancho D疱ila, Cristal de Mondrag, and Francisco de Vald駸 were prominent Spanish military commanders during the first decade of the Revolt in the Low Countries (1567-1577). Occupying key positions in this conflict, they featured as central characters in various war narratives and episodical descriptions of the events they were involved in, ranging from chronicles, poems, theatre plays, engravings, and songs to news pamphlets. To this day, they still figure as protagonists of historical novels: brave heroes in some, cruel oppressors in others. Yet personal, first-hand accounts also exist. Archival research into the letters written by these commanders now makes it possible to include their perspectives and the way they describe their own experiences. Looking through the eyes of four Spanish commanders, Protagonists of War provides the reader with an alternative reading of the Revolt, contrasting the subjective experiences of these protagonists with fictionalised perceptions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFree ebook available at OAPEN Library, JSTOR and Project Muse\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Raymond Fagel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 946270287X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789462702875\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Leuven University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 388\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.80d","brand":"Raymond Fagel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43993304465663,"sku":"9789462702875","price":41.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0f3b4a6b-0daf-49ef-a86f-e4eb9184e288.jpg?v=1683323645","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/protagonists-of-war-raymond-fagel-9789462702875","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
