John Lothrop Motley's "History of the United Netherlands" is a four-volume work that details the Dutch struggle for independence from Spain, specifically covering the period from William the Silent's death in 1584 to the Twelve Years' Truce in 1609. The book explores key military and political events, including the rise of Prince Maurice of Nassau, the Siege of Ostend, and the defeat of the Spanish Armada.
