This is the most ambitious and detailed study of Philip II's Spanish Armada, written by renowned historians Geoffrey Parker and Colin Martin. Drawing on over thirty years of research, the authors examine not only the military failure of the fleet in 1588 but also the complex web of political intrigue and power struggles that defined this pivotal episode of the Early Modern period in Europe.
By combining documentary analysis with archaeological evidence from the shipwrecks, the book provides a fresh and profound perspective on Spain's great naval enterprise. It is an essential reference work for understanding the military, political, and social dynamics that marked a turning point in European history.
