AUTOR: Fernández-Armesto, Felipe 

EDITORIAL: Oxford University Press  Libros en inglés

Drake playing bowls on Plymouth Hoe, the bonfires that flashed warnings of th Armada’s approach, Elizabeth’s address to her army at Tilbury: These images have helped to turn the events of August 1588 into a glorious God-sent victory, a Protestant David overcoming the Goliath of Spanish tyrany. In this richly illustrated account Felipe Fernández-Armesto presents a different view, base don the latest research. He can view “The Spanish Armada” in a distinctive Anglo-Spanish perspective, and he reflects upon it in a thought-provoking way.
