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. 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. James I feared being stabbed or blown up; Cecil ran an efficient spy network; and he was able to play on Jamess fears. 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 Cecils outrageous plot credence.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in the subjectBy marshall tharpThis paperback book is 122 pages divided into 17 chapters. each with many black and white photos of the location. This book is a well researched and written story from first hand accounts. The author presents the facts and lets the reader decide for himself. whether the story is plausible or not.. New England is well known for its many ghosts stories. but for those who know the Boothbay Region. it is especially welcome. I hope Mr. Latimer writes a sequel. on the Bath region. to include the well documented and interesting haunting of Seguin Light House at the entrance of the Kennebec River. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in the subject. MAT... Sun City Center3 of 3 people found the following review helpful.
