Summary:
Drawing on archives from around the world, Colin Martin and Geoffrey Parker also deploy new evidence from Armada shipwrecks off the coasts of Ireland and Scotland. Their illustrated account provides a fresh understanding of how the rival fleets came into being; how they looked, sounded, and smelled; and what happened when they finally clashed. Looking beyond the events of 1588 to the complex politics which made war between England and Spain inevitable, and at the political and dynastic aftermath, Armada deconstructs the many legends to reveal why, ultimately, the bold Spanish mission failed.
