Cloth. Condición: Good. No Jacket. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. White marks to cloth. Green cloth with gilt lettering. Sir Francis Drake was the greatest of the Elizabethan giants, but it is many years since a full-scale biography of him was written. The author has filled the gap with a vivid and absorbing account of his life and genius that set Drake apart/ Enemies and friends alike described his as a free booter, corsair and mere adventurer, but the author stresses that he was a deeply religious disciplinarian whose motive-force was less personal gain that the glory of England. Whether raiding the gold vaults of Nombre de Dios and Cartagena, taking prizes (and enriching himself and his crew as well as his Queen) or circumnavigating the globe, Drake never lost sight of the ultimate aim of securing the Protestant succession in England. This book, however, is not only concerned with Drake - it is also a broad and searching analysis of the age. The characters of Elizabeth and Philip; the double-dealing, plot and counter-plot of international politics; the dazzling Armada defeated by lucky winds and the 'divide and destroy' tactics of the first fleet of English 'little ships' to go into action in the Channel; the disease and death that awaited the sailors at the hour of victory; all these are described with as great verve as the raid on Panama, the chase of the treasureship Nuestra Senora, or the voyage round the world. Illustrated. 358 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
