Drake

"Stephen Coote's re-evaluation of this self-made Elizabethan hero is a portrait of the man and his era. Vividly re-creating the key episodes in the construction of the Drake legend, from the West Indies voyages to the Nombre de Dios expedition, the Armada and, of course, the extraordinary circumnavigation, Coote shows how his reputation was made, challenged and finally manipulated for other ends in the centuries following his death."--BOOK JACKET.
