Slippery Cecil (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798355154554)

This plot was Robert Cecil's attempt to remove the Catholic influence at James's court. Catesby was killed at Holbeche House unable to expose the lie. Now, you can find out how the truth was twisted by an arch manipulator who controlled the most sophisticated spy network in London at that time. Finally, the true story can be told, not using government documents that were biased but from primary sources using testimony and diary entries. Primary evidence hardly ever lies. This is real true story of the greatest sting of all time. The government tricked the Catholic nobles, who had influence at Court, in order to destroy their power and remove them from the political scene. The Fifth of November, the true story of Gunpowder Plot is an absorbing and riveting read and is the latest book produced by Michael Fitzalan. All of his novels lead the reader on an exciting journey. Guy Fawkes wanted to blow up parliament. What did he wish to gain; the very people who were going to replace James were present? How did he think he would get away with it? It does not make sense unless it was a story. Now, finally, you can read about the real plot, the plot to destroy the Catholic nobility hatched by Robert Cecil, Earl of Salisbury. Behind the scenes, he manipulated the cast in his play. Catesby, the supposed ringleader, had embraced Anglicanism, bringing his children up in the Anglican faith, yet he is portrayed as the zealous leader of the plot. Guy Fawkes was simply a night watchman guarding barrels. Read the true story that relies on facts. We all know the story of Guy Fawkes who wanted to blow up parliament. What did he wish to gain; the very people who were going to replace James were present? How did he think he would get away with it? It does not make sense unless it was a story.

Catesby, the supposed ringleader, had embraced Anglicanism, bringing his children up in the Anglican faith, yet he is portrayed as the zealous leader of the plot.

Read the true story that relies on facts. For far too long we have meekly accepted the propaganda of the age and ignored the flimsiness of those contrived coincidences that gave Cecil's outrageous plot credence.
