The most daring of the corsairs who raided the West Indies and Spanish Main, he led the English into the Pacific, and cirumnavigated the world to bring home the <i>Golden Hind</i> laden with Spanish treasure. His attacks on Spanish cities and ships transformed his private war into a struggle for surivival between Protestant England and Catholic Spain, in which he became Elizabeth I''s most prominent admiral and marked the emergence of England as major maritime nation.<br><br><b>¿Excellent...It deserves to become the standard Drake life. His scholarship is impeccable¿ Frank McLynn, <i>Sunday Telegraph</i></b></p>
