Originally published in 1961, this masterly study of the guns used by
the rivals in the Armada campaign remains an essential contribution to
the understanding of the event, for it gave a new perspective to the
whole battle. The long-drawn-out struggle in the summer of 1588 was
the first major sea-action which was a straight artillery-duel and
nothing else. With that the ship-borne gun began its long reign which
lasted unbroken from the Armada to the Coral Sea and Midway Island.
