Produktbeschreibungen
Pressestimmen
"* 'Excellent...It deserves to become the standard Drake life. His scholarship is impeccable.' - Frank McLynn, Sunday Telegraph * 'Excellent...he gives us throughout a highly sympathetic though not unbalanced portrait of a remarkable man.' - Linda Colley * 'The scope of his book, and the skill with which he handles generally unreliable sources, is impressive...The accounts of the circumnavigation, the attack on Cadiz and the defeat of the Armada are a comprehensive, and as readable, as any that have yet appeared.' - Brendan King, Literary Review"
Kurzbeschreibung
In this comprehensive and astute biography of the great sailor hero, Sugden portrays a complex man of fascinating contradictions. Ambitious, vainglorious and sometimes vindictive, he was also a loyal friend and a warrior of surprising humanity and courtesy.

Informative and Easy to Read
28. April 2001
Format:Taschenbuch
The author has a healthy respect for Drake without becoming too enamored. The author points out at near the end of the book that Drake was the right man at the right time. On Drake's later expeditions (that were failures) the Spanish had fortified their holdings in the new world to a point that made it more difficult for privateers. This, however, does not detract from Drake's earlier success which would not have been accomplished by men of lesser genius.

Well researched with good supporting evidence.
10. Januar 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I thought this was a fairly easy read, chocked full of well reasearched facts. However when hard documentation was not available, well argued reasoning is injected to make the intended point. I've read many treatments on Drake and find this to be the most definative.
While there are many missing pieces to Drakes life, the author really gives a good picture of the man and his times without putting him on a pedestal or dragging him through the mud as many authors try. In other words this book is not based on just trying to get another "ANGLE" to Drakes story.
I think you be pleased you read it.

Excellent Bio!
29. März 2010
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This was an exceptionally well written account of one of the greatest sailors in history. One sees the man, not just the captain. The information presented is very well researched and as complete as could ever be expected with the spotty records available.
