Frederik Hendrik and the Triumph of the Dutch Revolt describes a
crucial period in European history. During the early seventeenth
century the Dutch, led by Frederik Hendrik, were engaged in a
struggle for independence from the mighty Spanish Empire. But Spain
was allied with its fellow Hapsburg power, the Holy Roman Empire,
and Europe was convulsed with the Thirty Years' War. It was a
turbulent time with complex diplomacy, shifting alliances,
monumental battles and more European powers entering the war. Yet
thanks to Frederik Hendrik's adroit diplomacy and military skill,
combined with the tenacity of the Dutch people, the Dutch Republic
emerged from the conflicts and gained full independence, eventually
becoming a significant European power. After tracing these
developments, the book continues by examining and comparing later
nationalist insurgencies in the late twentieth and twenty-first
centuries. It analyses and identifies the factors making for
successful insurgencies. The key factors of finances and
international relations are emphasised. This volume is informative
and compelling reading for both practitioners and students studying
history, international relations, terrorism and insurgency.
