Trafalgar and the Spanish Navy
This is the first English language book to look at Spanish naval forces in the century before Trafalgar, and provides a long overdue reassessment of the aims and achievements of the service. Following a brief overview of the factors which shaped the development and the main maritime events, more detailed chapters cover Spanish warship design and construction, and the much maligned officer corps, concluding with sections on the battle itself and its significance to Spain.
