Zustand: as new. New York : HarperCollins, c2005. Hardcover. 175 pp. (Making history). Includes bibliographical references (p. 167-168) and index. - From the publisher : The assassination of Prince William of Orange by a French Catholic in 1584 had immediate political consequences and a profound effect on the course of history. It was a serious setback for Protestants in the Netherlands, who were struggling for independence from the Catholic rule of the Hapsburg Empire. But the crime's ramifications were even more earth-shattering, for it heralded the arrival of a new threat to the safety of world leaders and the security of nations: a pistol that could easily be concealed on one's person and employed to a lethal effect at point-blank range. In this provocative, fascinating, and enormously engaging work, noted author and historian Lisa Jardine brilliantly recounts the brazen act of religious terrorism that changed everything--and explores its long and bloody legacy, from the murder of Abraham Lincoln in 1865 to the slaying of Archduke Ferdinand in 1914, to the plague of terror and violent zealotry that infects our world today.

Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Schutzumschlag leicht berieben, sonst ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar / dust jacket slightly rubbed, otherwise a good and clean copy. - In this innovative and engaging work of history, distinguished author Lisa Jardine shows how the first killing by handgun of a head of state had a profound effect on the course of history. The shooting of Prince William of Orange by a French Catholic in 1584. had immediate political consequences: it was a serious setback for the Protestant cause in the Netherlands, as its forces fought for independence from the Catholic rule of the Hapsburg Empire. But, as Jardine brilliantly demonstrates, its implications for those in positions of power were even more far-reaching, as the assassination heralded the arrival of a lethal new threat to the security of nationsa pistol that could be concealed on ones person and used to deadly means at point-blank range. Queen Elizabeth I, Williams close Protestant ally, was devastated by his death and, as the object of assassination plots herself, was thrown into panic. The English parliament soon enacted legislation making it an offense to bring a pistol anywhere near a royal palace. Elizabeths terror was not misplaced. As Jardine observes, Williams assassination was the first in a long and bloody line that would include the murders of President Lincoln in 1865- and Archduke Ferdinand in 1914.a terror that is all too relevant today. / CONTENTS List of Illustrations Foreword: The Making History series Acknowledgements Introduction: Accidents of History Map: The Netherlands in the Seventeenth Century Family Tree: The House of Orange 1 How the Prince of Orange Came to Have a Price on his Head 2 Murder Most Foul 3 A Miraculous Escape 4 The Wheel-Lock Pistol - Killing Conveniently 5 English Aftermath 1 - She is a Chief Mark they Shoot at 6 English Aftermath 2 - Pistols and Politics Finale appendix 1: A Proclamation and an Edict against William of Nassau, Prince of Orange appendix 2: A copy of the Letters which my Lord the Prince of Orange, sent unto the Kings and Potentates of Christendom appendix 3: The True Report of the Lamentable Death, of William of Nassau Prince of Orange by Balthazar Serack appendix 4: Sir Edmund Nevilles Testimony Against Dr William Parry appendix 5: A Proclamation against the common use of Dags, Handguns, Arquebuses, Callibers, and Cotes of Defence Notes Further Reading Index.
