They were Jesuit priests, Englishmen, and their aim was to achieve by force of argument what the Armada had failed to do by force of arms: return England to the Catholic Church.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEighteen 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlice 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 would die for a cause undone by men who would kill for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper Perennial\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/13\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780060542283\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 488\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.30w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/09\/2006 pg. 19\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Alice Hogge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42561856700597,"sku":"9780060542283","price":16.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_fa0f4140-56ad-4ac5-9f1a-2548ea532ad9.jpg?v=1670941949","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/gods-secret-agents-queen-elizabeths-forbidden-priests-and-the-hatching-of-the-gunpower-plot-9780060542283","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
