This book tells the story of the causes and legacies of a conspiracy trial featuring English, Japanese, and Indo-Portuguese plotters against Dutch spice traders in the Indian Ocean in 1623. In the wake of the torture and execution of the accused men, the incident became known in Europe as the Amboyna Massacre.
