This was Philip II's invincible Armada, with which Spain's powerful ruler planned to demolish Britain's navy and carry out a land invasion of England itself. Fired by religious zeal to restore a Catholic monarch to the English throne as well as by the more worldly aim of ridding the seas of Queen Elizabeth's raiders, the leaders of the Armanda seemed sure of victory. But ranged against them were the faster ships of England, led by the queen's distant cousin, Lord Howard, and such daring and resourceful 'sea dogs' as Hawkins, Drake and Frobisher."--dustjacket ; numerous illustrations feature maps, portraits and depictions of the battles and armaments ; G/FAIR.
