Aimsigh é!
Contrary to widespread belief, the Spanish Armada, while it failed in its invasion objective, was not defeated – around two-thirds of the fleet managed to sail back to Spain. The English fleet managed to sink just one ship in direct action. The main losses were in Ireland, where exceptionally severe storms wrecked 24 of the ships making their return journey. It was also the dystopian setting where around 1500 Armada survivors were bloodily put to death by a Tudor regime struggling to extend its control over the island. Here, using new information, this book refutes the myths about this epoch-making period in history. Using a over 200 illustrations, Michael B. Barry brings to life the story of the Spanish Armada. If you want to gain a new perspective on the events of 1588, this is the book.
