An essential study of Cecil and the Elizabethan court, especially
with regard to the establishment of English international power and
the defeat of the Armada. From the preface: "It was an ironical
fate to achieve while living a flame of the very first magnitude,
only to have it consistently debased by posterity: to be
acknowledged by contemporaries as the virtual 'Ruler of England'
throughout the period that was most decisive in the nation's
development, then to be reduced in history to little more than a
faithful flunkey; painstaking, astute, patriotic (if you will); but
essentially a figure in the background; a minor character in the
drama; a necessary but obscure adjunct."
