Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a masterwork of biography, following the extraordinary life of Sir John Hawkins, a man who was both ruthless and humane. The author details Hawkins's voyages to the Canary Islands, the Spanish Indies, and Africa, where he established the British slave trade, a fact acknowledged with appropriate condemnation. However, the book is more than a record of Hawkins's lucrative but barbarous exploits. It is also a journey through the tumultuous Elizabethan era, a time of violence and intrigue, when England was emerging as a global power. The author's meticulous research illuminates the ways in which Hawkins's personal story intersects with the larger events of the time, including the Spanish Armada, and the rise of English naval dominance.
