reviewed The King on May 31, 2012
The King
Fascinating examination of the Counter Reformation, the Spanish super power and the religious wars that kept France weak and drained the Spanish treasury. Of particular interest to readers from the Anglosphere is how vigorous, successful and clever Phillip II of Spain actually was, of how the defeat of the Armada was a disappointment, but not a crushing defeat for Spain and how ineffectual a military leader Francis Drake actually was.
