Peter Pierson provides a comprehensive biographical study of Alonso Pérez de Guzmán, the seventh Duke of Medina Sidonia, who famously commanded the Spanish Armada in 1588. By examining the Duke's administrative career and his complex relationship with Philip II, this scholarly work challenges the traditional historical perception of his leadership during the ill-fated naval expedition against England.
