Description
 
Garrett Mattingly's book the Spanish Armada has already established as the classic account of that epoch-making event. Covering the span from February 18, 1587 to New Year's Day 1589.

As scholarship it is final, and indispensable; but it is also magnificent reading. It is true to say that it holds the attention like a very fine historical novel - one reads on with absorbed interest.

Though Mattingly does full justice to the naval kernal of his story, he gives us much more than that. A distinguished diplomatic historian, he portrays for us the line-up of the powers in Europe, he makes clear the complexities of the political and religious conflict, he makes real to us the personalities involved.

The book is without bias. One of its prime advantages is that it tells the story, for the first time from both the English and the SPANISH point of view. He has an equal mastery of the Spanish as well as the English sources

CONDITION: Hard Cover with DJ, light overall wear, previous owner address tag (US Embassy San Francisco) inside front cover, insert of photo illustrations.  415 pages, 1961
