The Spanish Armada

The Spanish Armada is one of the most exciting events in European history. Yet much of the story has been obscured by myth and propaganda. This book separates truth from myth. It tells the full story of the campaign and also provides absorbing detail on contemporary ship design, navigation and life at sea. It examines the recent findings on Armada wrecks and explains how these are changing our views of the conflict. David Anderson, Education Officer at the National Maritime Museum, has prepared a book which includes the latest research and is one of the fullest accounts yet of this spectacular enterprise.
