Más información sobre el libro
For a full 24 hours after sighting the Cornish coast on the afternoon of Friday, July 29, 1588 the Armada crept slowly eastward up the Channel without catching a glimpse of the English fleet. The most heavily gunned fleet in history was stalking its prey with eerie and circumspect quiet. The following conflict had a lasting importance which would reverberate down the ages. The image of the great Spanish fleet fleeing settled in men's minds and would not leave. It took on a golden nostalgic sheen and changed the way battles were fought at sea. Spain's advance had been abruptly halted and Spanish prestige never recovered.
