Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Tercentenary of England's Great Victory Over Spain and the Armada, 1588-1888 Mr. Coleridge observes that there are three points which the writer of a book must settle in his preface, viz., to what sort his book belongs, for what description of readers it is intended, and what is the specific end it is to answer. Accepting this view as satisfactory, my preface shall consist mainly of brief replies to these three inquiries. In reference to the first point, I answer that my little book does not treat of Philosophy, Science or Theology, though it is not out of harmony with what is known in these high spheres of thought. Nor does it belong to the more popular, if less elevated, realm of thought - the biographical fiction, or historical romance. The sort to which it does belong, but of which it is merely a fragment, is the historical. It describes, however, an epoch of rare interest in the history of our Anglo-Saxon race and of human progress.

Book excerpt: The political machinations, the strategies, and the hour-by-hour accounts of the war that locked Elizabeth I and Philip II in a battle for naval supremacy. The defeat of the Spanish Armada is one of the turning points in English history, and it was perhaps the defining episode in the long reigns of Elizabeth I of England and Philip II of Spain. The running battle along the Channel between the nimble English ships and the lumbering Spanish galleons has achieved almost legendary status. In this compelling new account John Barratt reconstructs the battle against the Armada in the concise, clear Campaign Chronicles format, which records the action in vivid detail, day by day, hour by hour. He questions common assumptions about the battle and looks again at aspects of the action that have been debated or misunderstood. Included are full orders of battle showing the chains of command and the effective strengths and fighting capabilities of the opposing fleets.There is also an in-depth analysis of the far-reaching consequences of the wreck of Philip II’s great enterprise.

Book excerpt: This is a history book that explores the events that led up to The Spanish Armada, which was a Spanish fleet that sailed from Lisbon in late May 1588, commanded by the Duke of Medina Sidonia, an aristocrat without previous naval experience appointed by Philip II of Spain. His orders were to sail up the English Channel, link up with the Duke of Parma in Flanders, and escort an invasion force that would land in England and overthrow Elizabeth I. Its purpose was to reinstate Catholicism in England, end support for the Dutch Republic, and prevent attacks by English and Dutch privateers against Spanish interests in the Americas.

Download or read book The Spanish Armada written by Felipe Fernández-Armesto and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1988 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Spanish Armada challenges that view. On the 400th anniversary of the famous sea battle, it offers a more balanced account of the confrontation between the Spanish and British naval powers than has previously been presented. According to Felipe Fernandez-Armesto, the British did not "defeat" the Spaniards; rather, the event should be seen as a "failure" of the Armada to invade British territory. Miles from home, with many of its crew sick, and fighting in stormy waters, the Spanish fleet did well, Fernandez argues, not to be completely routed. Further, he says, it reflects badly on the British not to have inflicted more damage on such a disadvantaged opponent.
