During the year between July 1588, when the Spanish Armada set sail
from Spain and July 1589, when the survivors of the English
counterpart of this fleet, the little-known English Armada, reached
port in England, two of history's worst naval catastrophes took
place. A great deal of attention has been dedicated to the former
and precious little to the latter. This book presents a full-scale
account of an event which has been neglected for more than four
centuries. It reconstructs the military operations day by day for
the first time, taking apart the established notion that, with the
defeat of the Spanish Armada, England achieved maritime supremacy
and the decay of Spain began. This book clearly and in a rigorously
documented fashion shows how the defeat of the English Armada
counterbalanced that of the Spanish, frustrating England's
intention of seizing Philip II's American empire and changing the
tide of the war.
