Review
An accessible, authoritative account of Francis Walsingham's life and work. Written with a sense of the dramatic... The author is very good at evoking the atmosphere of suspicion and paranoia during Elizabeth's reign and seems to relish describing the methods of torture at Walsingham's disposal and the brutality of the age. It makes Elizabethan statecraft immediate and entertaining. THE BOOK MAGAZINE Robert Hutchinson's lucid and learned volume gives us a vivid portrait of Walsingham... an excellent book. -- Frank McLynn INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY Walsingham emerges from these pages as a hero of epic stature. DAILY TELEGRAPH compelling LITERARY REVIEW Hutchinson neatly combines his expert knowledge with an impressive narrative suspense and mordant sense of humour... A darkly informative read.
