Product Description

Product Description
At the end of July 1588, Philip II's Armada of 130 ships set sail against England. Within a month they were condemned to defeat. The authors spent 13 years reassessing the profusion of untapped documents, diaries and private papers lying forgotten in Spanish and Dutch archives. This material has been augmented by underwater discoveries from the Armada wrecks.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting and well detailed study of the Armada, 19 Jan 2001
By A Customer
The two authors have managed to recreate the history of Philip II's Armada. it is based on new and sound materials and is adequate to postgraduate students interested in the diplomatic relations between England and Spain in the last third of the 16th century. Fascinating!

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive and fascinating, 26 April 2007
By John Hopper (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Spanish Armada (Paperback)
An interesting and comprehensive account of the causes, events and aftermath of the Armada. The authors have no axe to grind and clearly set out the positive and negative factors on both sides. The conclusion sets out what might have happened had the Armada landed and the outcome in that eventuality looks as if it would have been pretty one-sidedly for the invaders. The reasons why the invasion failed entered into the equation earlier and revolved around strategy, logistics, equipment, personnel and leadership, topped off with the more famous meteorological factors. One of the co-authors has excavated Armada wrecks and this brings an unusual insight into the account, albeit perhaps with slightly more technical detail than I would have wanted about weaponry and ship structure. Very good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully narrative and 100% historically accurate!, 12 Jul 2001
By A Customer
I was a student of Dr. martin at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland and the brilliant narrative style of the book is brought forth just as in his lectures when this humorous Pickwickian lecturer would smile and chuckle as he would relate his bon mots and marvellous anecdotes that regular teachers and scholars simply didn't know! He was without doubt one of my favorite professors.
