"Life and Death of John of Barneveld, Advocate of Holland" by John Lothrop Motley is a historical exploration into the intense political world of the Dutch Republic, centered around the life and death of John of Barneveld during the Thirty Years' War. Barneveld’s efforts to build a strong government for the Netherlands are overshadowed by his increasingly bitter rivalry with Prince Maurice, resulting in accusations of treason and corruption that grow into a dangerous threat. The book likely follows the consolidation of power by Maurice, the dismantling of Barneveld's support, and the resulting shift in Dutch governance that puts Barneveld's life and legacy in peril, capturing a time of clashing loyalties and high-stakes political maneuvering.
