Publisher's Synopsis
A firsthand account by Sir Walter Raleigh of the heroic, yet tragic, battle fought in 1591 between the English ship Revenge, commanded by Sir Richard Grenville, and a vastly superior Spanish fleet near the Azores. Raleigh's report vividly details the incredible bravery and tenacity of Grenville and his crew against overwhelming odds. This edition offers readers a glimpse into the mindset of Elizabethan England and the fierce naval rivalry between England and Spain.
"A Report of the Truth of the Fight About the Isles of Azores" remains a compelling historical document and a testament to the courage displayed during a pivotal era of maritime exploration and warfare.
