What is Maurits of Nassau and the Survival of the Dutch Revolt : Comparative Insurgences about?

This book describes the crucial period in the monumental 80-year Dutch struggle against the Spanish Empire, through which a small nation gained its independence from one of the mightiest European powers. Dr. Ridley shows how, even though the Dutch Revolt was at its lowest point, Maurits of Nassau and the Dutch fought on and the Revolt survived. It was a turbulent time, with complex diplomacy and shifting alliances, assassination plots, France torn by civil war, Spain spearheading the Counter-Reformation, England facing invasion, and Europe eventually convulsed with the Thirty Years’ War. In all these, the Dutch Revolt was a significant factor. The book also explores subsequent insurgencies over the following 3 centuries, when nationalist groups revolted against European powers, and analyses and identifies essential factors for a successful insurgency. The key roles of finance and international relations in insurgencies are emphasised. This volume will be informative and compelling reading for readers and students of history, international relations, and insurgencies.
