The story of the most famous sea battle in English nautical history, in which the Revenge was drawn into a suicidal encounter with the entire Spanish fleet while hunting treasure in the Azores. Despite her inevitable defeat after a frenzied 12-hour battle, the Revenge's stand passed into history as a paragon of maritime heroism, immortalized by both Sir Walter Raleigh and Alfred Lord Tennyson. Peter Earle is a world-renowned naval historian and author of the Pirate Wars.
