In this, the fourth book of Spellmount's Campaign in Context
series, Rupert Matthews looks to the ill-fated invasion of England
by King Philip II of Spain. The Armada of 22 warships and 108
converted merchant vessels sailed under the command of the Duke of
Medina Sidonia in 1588, but found itself harried by storms,
fireships, and the redoubtable English fleet. In The Spanish
Armada, Rupert Matthews considers the characters of the commanders
such as Francis Drake, Medina, and the opposing monarchs, and as
with his previous titles in the series he carefully balances the
evidence from textual sources with knowledge of the theatre and
reconstructed weaponry in order to explain the events of the battle
to the general reader, and the context in which it took place.
