5.0 out of 5 stars Vibrant account of the Spanish Armada in context, 2 May 2002
By A Customer
This history of the Spanish Armada is gripping right from the start - the moment of the execution of Mary, Queen of Scots. The protagonists are well described, from Philip of Spain to Pope Sixtus V and Queen Elizabeth, through all the military and naval commanders - from the audacious Drake to the brilliant Duke of Parma or the inexperienced Medina-Sidonia. The naval engagements are brought to life as are the land campaigns which, for instance, tried to secure a Flemish port for the Spaniards to use as a spring board for their army in the Netherlands. Fire-ships, men-of-war, galleys rowed by galley slaves, spies, treachery, piracy, the clash between Protestantism and Catholicism... Highly recommended and highly readable.
