In 1572 William of Orange led a revolt against the government of the Habsburg Netherlands. Here, the author re-evaluates the Dutch revolt and its role in the creation of a new republic. He draws extensively on state records to illuminate the dominant influence of provincial towns in devising a coherent strategy for war.
