The Defeat of the Spanish Armada by Garrett Mattingly
A faultless book; and one which most historians would have given half their working lives to have written.” – JH Plumb
One of the best books written on the Spanish Armada and 16th-century Europe, Gerald Mattingly’s 1959 classic is an engaging, yet exciting account of the events that led up to the 1588 naval campaign. Mattingly puts the Armada into its historic context, drawing a vivid picture of the political machinations of 16th-century Europe. The battle and its aftermath are poignantly described, as is the death of tragic Mary, Queen of Scots.
