Soft cover. Condizione: Fine. 1st Edition. 2025 Amazon edition of Michael B. Barry's 1588: The Spanish Armada and the 24 Ships Lost on Ireland's Shores, published by Andalus Press, Dublin. Illustrated paperback examining the fate of the Spanish Armada during its disastrous return voyage around the British Isles in 1588, concentrating upon the twenty-four Spanish ships lost along the Irish coastline. This copy is in Fine, like-new condition, with clean covers, a firm binding and an unmarked text throughout. No annotations, underlining or highlighting. Drawing upon historical accounts and the surviving documentary record, Barry reconstructs the circumstances surrounding the Armada's attempted invasion of England under Philip II of Spain, its encounters with the English fleet, and the subsequent decision to return to Spain by sailing north around Scotland and south along the western coast of Ireland. Severe Atlantic weather, navigational difficulties and the condition of the Spanish vessels contributed to the destruction of numerous ships, with substantial losses of life among their crews and soldiers. Particular attention is given to the wrecks along the Irish coast, the experiences of Spanish survivors, and their encounters with the local Irish population and the English authorities governing Ireland during the Elizabethan period. The narrative places these events within the wider circumstances of Anglo-Spanish rivalry, the Tudor conquest of Ireland and the political and religious divisions of late sixteenth-century Europe. The book also considers the geographical distribution of the wrecks and the subsequent historical interest in identifying their locations, including the contribution of maritime archaeology and underwater investigations to understanding the Armada's fate. An illustrated contribution to the history of the Spanish Armada, Elizabethan Ireland and sixteenth-century maritime warfare, with particular relevance to Irish coastal history and the surviving historical record of the Armada shipwrecks.…

A Republic was declared by the insurgents in 1916. The First Dáil convened in 1919 and at the same time a ruthless guerrilla war began against the forces of the British Crown. Over the following years, as the news from Ireland got worse for the British, they agreed to negotiate. A Truce was followed by a Treaty in December 1921. The Dominion status granted was the cause of the Civil War which broke out six months later. The Free State Government prosecuted the war in a systematic manner, using its ever-growing army. The death of Liam Lynch, leader of the anti-Treaty IRA, on a bare mountain in April 1923 marked the defeat of the anti-Treaty side. Barry draws together the events of the years 1916-23 into this ground-breaking book. Gift Inscription.…
