{"product_id":"the-spanish-armada-rupert-matthews-book","title":"The Spanish Armada | Rupert Matthews | Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Spanish Armada of 1588 is familiar as a famous naval defeat, but the campaign becomes more revealing when considered as a whole. Rupert Matthews examines the attempted invasion of England, placing the ships and fighting within the political aims, personalities and practical constraints of the opposing sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhilip II, Elizabeth I, Francis Drake and the Duke of Medina Sidonia appear in an account that considers written evidence alongside the geography of the campaign and reconstructed weaponry. Rather than treating the outcome as inevitable, the book asks how events developed and why the enterprise failed. This paperback offers useful context for readers of Tudor history and for anyone looking more closely at paintings of the Armada and the age of sail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rupert Matthews\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull title:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Spanish Armada: A Campaign in Context\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e The History Press Ltd\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781837052882\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30\/07\/2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDelivery \u0026amp; Returns\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSupplied to order, subject to availability.
