The Netherlands - Revolt And Independence 1550-1650

The Netherlands – Revolt and Independence 1550–1650
Nartyn Rady (1987, Edward Arnold)
Available now from Crappy Old Books – because history never goes out of print, just out of fashion.

Dive headfirst into a century of rebellion, religious upheaval, and relentless pamphleteering with this scholarly gem by Nartyn Rady. The Netherlands – Revolt and Independence unpacks the Dutch struggle against Spanish rule in glorious academic detail, covering everything from Calvinist fervour to the Eighty Years’ War—and all the thrilling taxation disputes in between.

Rady’s 1987 classic (yes, it’s that old) offers a crisp, no-nonsense narrative and analysis of the political, religious, and economic forces that gave birth to the Dutch Republic. Perfect for students, amateur historians, and anyone who likes their revolutions with a side of footnotes.

This slightly yellowed paperback may not look like much, but inside? It’s a revolution.

Used. A bit tatty. Possibly annotated by a frustrated undergrad in 1993.
