Seller's Description:
Very Good in Very Good jacket. 8vo. 256 pages, b/w ills, index, endpaper charts: The English Channel, from Lands End to Plymouth' and from the Isle of Wight to Dover. Cloth-backed papered boards in jacket. Front flap creased otherwise as new. The story of the Armada of 1588 based largely on previously unexplored Spanish sources.
Quite truthfully when my opthalmologist recommended this writer I didn't know how much about the Armada was left to be known. After reading David Howarth's detailed account of the making of a colossal catastrophe, I could now see better how history treats those in power who chose to ignore the odds and pursue their course regardless. There were so many ships not built for the North Atlantic and then there were so many men, some of which never saw battle but died terrible deaths from starvation and disease. David Howarth brought you to the ships so that you could almost smell the wood that they were made of, taste the salty air and feel the utter desperation of all those involved in this futile attempt to bring England to her knees. Thousands were to die in this adventure, their bones lying at the bottom of the sea or on the barren shores of England waiting for redemption.
