Graham, Winston. THE SPANISH ARMADAS. Doubleday & Company, Inc. 1972. 8vo, 288 pages; Hardcover w/ DJ; The history of a great naval war reveals a wealth of interest and excitement unknown to the general reader. For most people the conflict between England and Spain in the sixteenth century consisted solely in the destruction of the Great Armada in 1588 by Drake, Howard, and the English weather. These pages place that Armada in its true position, as only the most spectacular of many attempts by the Spanish to conquer England and make it Catholic, first by friendship, then by the marriage of Philip to Mary, and later by battle. A vivid summary is made of the disruptive forces in Europe that, thought thirty years, broke down the tradition of amity between England and Spain. Subject: History - Spanish Armada
