Book
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 'Continual, destruction in the foretop, the pox above board, the plague between decks, hell in the forecastle and the devil at the helm. 'It is the summer of 1588, and the fate and future of England hangs in the balance. Obsessed by the dream of reclaiming England for the Catholic Church - and adding another country to his sprawling dominions - Philip II of Spain has assembled a fleet of huge, castle-crowned galleons that stretches for miles across the face of the ocean. In wait in the Netherlands lies a battle-hardened Spanish army, ferocious professionals with a taste for rape, looting and atrocity. Across the Channel the English are scraping together bands of barely trained men, many armed only with scythes, stakes or longbows. Great warning beacons stand all along the coast of England; torches and kindling lie to hand. Watchmen strain their eyes to see over the horizon. Their only hope lies in the English Navy. But Philip's Armada is doomed before it even leaves port. As soon as it engages with the English fleet, its shortcomings are clear in the face of superior tactics and firepower. Its hulls shot through with cannon fire, its men dying in thousands from wounds and disease, the mightiest fleet ever assembled is mercilessly harried into fleeing north, at the mercy of the elements. Over forty Spanish ships are wrecked on the Irish coast; survivors crawling ashore have their throats slit and their purses ransacked. The dream of subduing the Protestant English lies in tatters. A triumphant combination of historical detail and storytelling flair, The Confident Hope of a Miracle draws on undiscovered and little known personal papers and records to tell the epic story of the Spanish Armada in all its scope. No book has ever conveyed in such vivid, living detail how kings, queens and courtiers, sea captains, deckhands and galley slaves, the highest and the lowest in the land, fared in those turbulent months as the fate of England teetered on the brink. -Praise for Neil Hanson's THE DREADFUL JUDGEMENT:'Conjures up the vanished city .Hanson writes with knowledge and verve, as if making a television documentary on a natural disaster .An informative and lively account. ' SUNDAY TIMES'Vivid .A rich mixture of imagination and research .Hanson's prose is animated by the ferocious energy of the fire and seems to be guided by its inexorable movement. He has a marvellous eye for evocative detail. ' DAILY TELEGRAPH'Popular narrative history at its best, well researched, imaginatively and dramatically written .The author marshals his story and his mass of contemporary quotation with great skill. ' TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Sehr gut. First edition. 489 p., illustrated Copy in very good condition, free from annotations/Exemplar in sehr gutem Zustand, frei von Anmerkungen. - The Confident Hope of a Miracle is a gripping account of the defeat of the Spanish Armada the defining international event of the Elizabethan age. In 1588, determined to reclaim England for the Catholic Church, King Philip II of Spain launched a fleet of huge castle-crowned galleons that stretched for miles across the ocean. A battle-hardened Spanish Army waited in Holland, ready to crush England s barely trained conscripts, many armed only with scythes, stakes or longbows. All that stood between Spain and victory was the English Navy. But English ships, tactics, weapons and crews were much superior to those of the Armada, and the pious and ascetic Philip s "confident hope of a miracle" to give him victory was not fulfilled. - The story of the Spanish Armada is one of the great epics, with a cast of characters as rich and varied as any in history, with results that shaped Europe for centuries to come. Neil Hanson, the acclaimed author of The Great Fire of London and The Custom of the Sea, brings the story to vivid life, tracing the origins of the conflict from the Old World to the New, delineating the Armada campaign in rousing prose, and illuminating the lives of kings and popes, spymasters and assassins, military commanders and common sailors, and the ordinary men and women caught up in this great event when the fate of nations hung in the balance. Hanson also depicts the terrible fate that befell the seamen of both sides long after the decisive battles were over, and he takes a fresh, hard look at Elizabeth I, shaking the pedestal of "England s greatest ever monarch." - The Confident Hope of a Miracle is authentic and original history written with the pace and drama of a novel.
