Somewhat difficult to read. Produced by David Widger "The Life and Death of John of Barneveld, Advocate of Holland" by John Lothrop Motley is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This work unveils the life of John of Barneveld, a significant political figure and statesman during the tumultuous period leading up to the Thirty Years' War. It delves into Barneveld's efforts and influence as he strives to unify the fragmented Protestant factions in Europe against the rising threat of Catholic aggression, particularly from Spain and the Holy Roman Empire. The opening portion of the book introduces Barneveld’s alarmingly prescient warnings about the gatherings of Catholic forces in Germany and the imminent threat they pose to Protestant states. He sends detailed instructions to diplomats, urging prompt military readiness and unity among Protestant leaders, who appear lethargic in the face of this growing danger. Barneveld's acute observations reflect his deep understanding of the complex political landscape, marked by the intricate relationships among European powers, and foreshadow the catastrophic conflict that is about to unfold. His correspondence highlights the urgent need for cooperation among nations to resist the encroaching dominance of the Catholic League while revealing the challenges he faces, particularly from apathetic allies like England and France.
