Burning Their Ships is a historical non-fiction book written by Barnet Phillips in 1879. The book is a detailed account of the Spanish Armada and its defeat by the English fleet in 1588. The author provides a comprehensive analysis of the political, social and religious factors that led to the conflict, as well as the military strategies used by both sides during the battle. Phillips also explores the personalities of the key figures involved in the conflict, including Queen Elizabeth I, King Philip II of Spain, and the commanders of the English and Spanish fleets. The book provides a vivid description of the naval battle, including the tactics used by the English fleet to defeat the larger and more powerful Spanish Armada. In addition to the battle itself, Phillips also examines the aftermath of the conflict, including the impact it had on the political and military landscape of Europe. The book is well-researched and provides a detailed and engaging account of one of the most significant battles in European history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in military history, naval warfare, or the Tudor era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
