In characteristically lucid and vivid prose, Derek Wilson maps the multiple historical paths leading to one of the most famous embarkations in historyA fresh and admirably unsentimental account of the forces shaping the "Pilgrim Fathers". * Peter Marshall, FBA, FRHistS, Professor of History, University of Warwick *
I cannot praise too highly Derek Wilson's prose style, which is both masterful and lively. He writes with great conviction and a breathtaking attention to the kind of personal detail that makes his books such compelling reading. -- Alison Weir, historian and novelist
Derek Wilson does a superb job of separating fact from fiction to provide a very readable account of what actually happened. He does justice to the range of competing religious, commercial and political motives that led this group of people to leave England for America. * Church of England Newspaper *
