The Defeat Of The Spanish Armada (1961) By Garrett Mattingly
 
The classic account of the epoch-making event. As scholarship it is final, and indispensable; but it is also magnificent reading.
 
Though Mattingly does full justice to the naval kernel of his story, he gives us much more than that. A distinguished diplomatic historian, he portrays for us the line-up of the powers of Europe, he makes clear the complexities of the poltical and religious conflict, he makes real to us the personalities involved.
