Elizabeth's Sea Dogs investigates the rise and fall of a unique
group of adventurers - men like Francis Drake, John Hawkins, Martin
Frobisher and Walter Raleigh. Seen by the English as heroes but by
the Spanish as pirates, they were expert seafarers and
controversial characters. This riveting new account reveals them
for what they were: extremely tough men in extremely hard times.
They sailed, fought, looted and whored their way across the globe;
in the process, they established a lasting British presence in the
Americas, defeated the Spanish Armada, and made Queen Elizabeth I
very wealthy, if seldom grateful. Author Hugh Bicheno sets the Sea
Dogs in historical context and reveals their lives and exploits
through diligent historical research incorporating contemporary
testimony. With additional appendices, colour plates, the author's
own maps and technical drawings, Elizabeth's Sea Dogs tells their
vivid, extraordinary story as it was lived, in the author's
trademark engaging style.
