The Quarterly Review, Vol. 182: July October, 1895 (Classic Reprint)

Description: This captivating book explores the decisive naval battle fought in 1588, in which England's inexperienced seamen led by Lord Howard of Effingham, along with the Dutch fleet, repelled the invasion of the vaunted Spanish Armada. The author places this historic clash within the context of Spain's global ambitions, Philip II's religious crusade, and Elizabeth I's reign. Through meticulous research and vivid prose, the book examines how the English fleet, against all odds, exploited strategic advantages, seamanship, and innovative tactics to overcome the seemingly invincible Armada. Ultimately, this book illuminates the profound impact of sea power and strategy on the course of history, making it an essential read for anyone interested in naval history, maritime warfare, or the broader context of the 16th-century European power struggles.
