Conspiracy and Treason in Regency England. On 1 May 1820, outside Newgate Prison, in front of a dense crowd, five of the Cato Street conspirators were hanged for high treason. Then they were decapitated in the last brutal act of a murderous conspiracy that aimed to assassinate Prime Minister Lord Liverpool and his cabinet and destroy his government. M J Trow, in this gripping fast-moving account of this notorious but neglected episode in British history, reconstructs the case in vivid detail and sets it in the wider context of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars. AUTHOR: M.J. Trow has written highly praised historical biographies as well as studies of true crime. He is also a very successful novelist. Among his recent publications are lives of Boudicca, Vlad the Impaler, Kit Marlowe, the hero of the Charge of the Light Brigade, Captain William Morris, and War Crimes: Underworld Britain in the Seci=ond World War. He has produced several best-selling accounts of criminal cases, in particular volumes on Derek Bentley, the Wigwam murder and Jack the Ripper. But he is perhaps best known for his many novels which include the Lestrade and Maxwell series. SELLING POINTS: Gripping reconstruction of the plot to assassinate the British prime minister and cabinet in 1820 Explores the characters, motives and radical politics of the plotters Sets the conspiracy in the wider context of Britain after the Napoleonic Wars 15-30 illustrations
