In 1577 the former pirate and slave-trader Francis Drake was secretly dispatched by Elizabeth I to circumnavigate the globe; after successfully completing that expedition he went on to play a prominent role in the defeat of the Spanish Armada. Bergreen focuses on these two major achievements in Drake’s flamboyant career, describing how made himself one of the queen’s favourites and became the instrument of her imperial ambitions. American-cut pages and felt-tip mark on upper trimmed edge. Slightly off-mint
