Synopsis

The swashbuckling English sea captains of the Elizabethan era were a particular breed of adventurer, combining maritime and military skill with a seemingly insatiable appetite for Spanish treasure. Angus Konstam describes these characters, including such well-known sea dogs as Francis Drake, Walter Raleigh, John Hawkins and Martin Frobisher, in colourful detail. For about 40 years they fought a private war with the Spanish, and while their seccess in defeating the Spanish Armada is well known, this book also covers their daring exploits in the New World.
