Sir Francis Drake Zusammenfassung

Sir Francis Drake Dr John Sugden

How well do you know the life of one of Britain's great maritime heroes?

Discover the truth behind a man who remains a legendary figure of history more than four hundred years after his death.


Sir Francis Drake's career is one of the most colourful on record. The most daring of the corsairs who raided the West Indies and Spanish Main, he led the English into the Pacific, and cirumnavigated the world to bring home the Golden Hind laden with Spanish treasure. His attacks on Spanish cities and ships transformed his private war into a struggle for surivival between Protestant England and Catholic Spain, in which he became Elizabeth I's most prominent admiral and marked the emergence of England as major maritime nation.

'Excellent...It deserves to become the standard Drake life. His scholarship is impeccable' Frank McLynn, Sunday Telegraph

Sir Francis Drake Bewertungen

Excellent...It deserves to become the standard Drake life. His scholarship is impeccable -- Frank McLynn * Sunday Telegraph *
Excellent...he gives us throughout a highly sympathetic though not unbalanced portrait of a remarkable man -- Linda Colley
The scope of his book, and the skill with which he handles generally unreliable sources, is impressive...The accounts of the circumnavigation, the attack on Cadiz and the defeat of the Armada are a comprehensive, and as readable, as any that have yet appeared -- Brendan King * Literary Review *
