The shooting of Prince William of Orange by a French Catholic in 1584 had immediate political consequences: it was a serious setback for the Protestant cause in the Netherlands, as its forces fought for independence from the Catholic rule of the Hapsburg Empire. But, as Jardine brilliantly demonstrates, its implications for those in positions of power were even more far~reaching, as the assassination heralded the arrival of a lethal new threat to the security of nations ~ a pistol that could be concealed on one's person and used to deadly means at point~blank range. Queen Elizabeth I, William's close Protestant ally, was devastated by his death and, as the object of assassination plots herself, was thrown into panic. The English parliament soon enacted legislation making it an offense to bring a pistol anywhere near a royal palace. Elizabeth's terror was not misplaced. As Jardine observes, William's assassination was the first in a long and bloody line that would include the murders of President Lincoln in 1865 and Archduke Ferdinand in 1914 ~ a terror that is all too relevant today.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. INSCRIBED by JERRY CLARK. Self-published book which was printed in a very limited edition, a very hard title to find. Clark takes a brief look at Grover Cleveland Alexander, Sam Crawford, Bob Gibson, Wade Boggs, Tim Burke, Bob Cerv, Bob Johnson, Ron Hansen, Richie Ashburn, Mel Harder, Billy Southworth, Gregg Olsen, and many more. It is amazing how a state with a small population like Nebraska has produced so many major leaguers. Clark uses bubble gum cards for photos of most of the players. Nine names are underlined in red ink in the index of Baseball Personalities, no other marks, the book is in very good condition. I have hundreds of books on the Best of Baseball in stock. Inscribed by Author(s).
