They were Jesuit priests, Englishmen, and their aim was to achieve by force of argument what the Armada had failed to do by the force of arms: return England to the Catholic Church. Eighteen years later their mission would be shattered by the actions of the Gunpowder Plotters—a small group of terrorists who famously tried to destroy the Houses of Parliament—for the Jesuits were accused of having designed "that most horrid and hellish conspiracy." Alice Hogge follows "God's secret agents" from their schooling on the Continent, through their perilous return journeys and lonely lives in hiding, to, ultimately, the gallows. She offers a remarkable true account of faith, duty, intolerance, and martyrdom—the unforgettable story of men who die for a cause undone by men who would kill for it. - Publisher Statement 113719 1 6 2005 God's Secret Agents: Queen Elizabeth's Forbidden Priests and the Hatching of the Gunpowder Plot total:3|4:1|3:2| 3 10 12 1 3 0 false false Sun Oct 19 11:58:36 -0700 2008 Sun Oct 19 11:58:43 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Fri Sep 04 17:53:44 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 04 17:53:44 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Sep 01 01:15:17 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 01 01:15:17 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jun 12 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 12 13:32:24 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 11 13:24:04 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue May 19 11:33:20 -0700 2009 Tue May 19 11:33:20 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Feb 19 18:51:42 -0800 2009 Wed Jul 08 13:07:30 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jan 11 02:31:06 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 11 02:31:06 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jun 04 20:31:25 -0700 2008 Wed Jun 04 22:59:38 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed Apr 09 12:54:05 -0700 2008 Wed Apr 09 12:54:05 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Fri Jan 18 13:09:49 -0800 2008 Fri Jan 18 13:09:55 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Fri Jan 04 22:15:40 -0800 2008 Fri Jan 04 22:15:40 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sat Jul 14 17:24:24 -0700 2007 Sat Jul 14 17:24:27 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=118137
