Happy Wednesday everyone!

Just wrapped up [Armada: The Spanish Enterprise and England’s Deliverance in 1588](http://Armada: The Spanish Enterprise and England’s Deliverance in 1588 https://a.co/d/ecEjjHN) by Colin Martin and Geoffrey Parker. It provides an excellent scholarly account of the Spanish Armada's defeat in 1588. Adding to how detailed the accoint is, I especially appreciated their analysis of how the fleet came to be and why it ultimately failed (based on evidence from eyewitnesses, historical documents, and artefacts from shipwreck sites.) Highly recommend!
