This intriguing book argues that the sixteenth-century treaties King Philip III forged with Spain's most powerful enemies were not intended to ensure a permanent peace. Instead, the author shows, Philip's plan was to lull his foes, thereby enabling Spain to regain its strength after fifty years of incessant and expensive warfare. Ending the truce and resuming war with the Dutch, the English, and the French were all a part of the grand strategy.

Philip III and the PAX Hispanica
Philip III is quite unknown when it comes to the kings of Spain. A lot of it is not his fault. I personally think that he has been judged too harshly, and is actually a king that was relatively capable, just had the unfortune to inherit kingdoms that were so dependent on a workaholic ethic of it's previous 2 kings, that the entire nation started to decline when the new king couldn't match that energy.
That said, i found this book a very tedious read. A lot of talk about the Dutch and how the peace came about, but it's just an endless circle with the negotiations that take too much of the book. Yes it was very important, but there were other parts of the "Grand Strategy" that imho deserved a lot more time in the book. It took me quite long to work through the book, which is usually i sign i shouldn't give it more than 3 stars.
