Delete	The Spanish Armada: The Experience of War in 1588 [Buy it!]	Fernandez-Armesto, Felipe	USD 12.95 (Sun Jun 2 22:06:28 2024)	Abebooks	Michael Patrick McCarty, Bookseller	ISBN10: 0198229267, ISBN13: 9780198229261, [publisher: Oxford University Press] Hardcover In this well-written and documented book, Fernandez-Armesto examines the causes of the historical representation of the battle of 1588 and re-creates the event from both sides. The Spaniards, with their tendency to hyperbole, he says, exaggerate the defeat they suffered at British hands. The story told by the British he attributes to three distorting influences: the "black legend" of Spanish cruelty; the "Whig interpretation of English history," which paints the battle as a victory of English freedom over Spanish despotism; and "Protestant apologetics," according to which the confrontation proved the superiority of the Protestant religion. [New Castle, CO, U.S.A.] [Publication Year: 1988]
