The Voyage of the Armada: The Spanish Story by David Howarth

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book edges and corners.

A reprint of a marvellous retelling of the Armada story. Until this book was published, the Battle of the Armada had been told primarily from the English viewpoint, the English victory puffed up into a national heroic tale that was far from the truth. There is another side to this story, however, and, basing his narrative on previously unexplored Spanish sources, David Howarth, brilliantly redressed the balance.
