The defeat of the Spanish Armada did not put an end to Spanish sea
power, nor to Spain's ambitions in northern Europe. By the
mid-1590s, Spain had recovered from the disaster of 1588, and the
renewed naval wars together with the outbreak of rebellion in
Ireland form the principal themes of this book. R. B. Wernham sets
out to examine these major events of the last years of Queen
Elizabeth's reign and to assess their impact on English policy.
Professor Wernham shows how much of the impetus in foreign policy
derived from the Earl of Essex, whose personal ambition and
practical incompetence brought frustration and danger, and
ultimately led him through rebellion to the scaffold. It was left
to Mountjoy in Ireland, to Leveson and a new generation of sea
commanders, and above all to Robert Cecil, to bring war and
rebellion to a reasonably satisfactory conclusion. The Return of
the Armadas is a superbly integrated and lucidly written study in
grand strategy by a leading historian of Elizabethan affairs. It
carries to its conclusion the story begun in his After the Armada.
