Colin Martin (underwater archaeologist) and Geoffrey Parker's (historian) The Spanish Armada is an impressive and groundbreaking piece of multi-disciplinary scholarship. The causes and the eventual result of the Armada have never been that open to interpretation but the reasons for the extraordinary failure have been. It is in this field that Colin Martin's excavations contribute vital information. An interesting and comprehensive account of the causes, events and aftermath of the Armada. The authors have no axe to grind and clearly set out the positive and negative factors on both sides. The conclusion sets out what might have happened had the Armada landed and the outcome in that eventuality looks as if it would have been pretty one-sidedly for the invaders. Ref HHH 1.

This issue includes: "An Empty Ocean" (Since World War II the submarine has replaced the aircraft carrier as ruler of the sea. The great naval battles of the future will be fought underwater) by John Keegan; "McClellan vs. Lee: The Seven-Day Trial" (Battles around Richmond in the summer of 1862 became the proving ground for two leaders. Events would clearly mark on for mediocrity, the other for greatness) by Stephen W. Sears; "Why the Armada Failed" (Archaeologists working on the Armada wrecks have found an unsuspected reason: the inability of Spanish cannon to fire more than a single shot in battle) by Geoffrey Parker; "If the Armada had Landed" (Indications are that, if the Duke of Parma's own army had landed in England, it could have walked to London practically unopposed) by Colin Martin and Geoffrey Parker; "The General at Ease: An Interview with Westmoreland" (The former U. S. commander in Vietnam muses on Tet, CBS, the movie Platoon, questions he might ask General Giap, his hardest decision, and the Wall) by Laura Palmer; "The Roman Killing Machine" (A murderously efficient weapon, the short sword, hacked out an empire, a superbly trained and disciplined army held its far-flung parts together) by Robert L.

And yet, U.S. Army planners had a plan.) by Thaddeus Holt; "A Short History of the Management of Violence" (Warfare may be as old as civilization itself, but the military professional is not. Technology created him--and technology, curiously, may prove his undoing) by Martin Van Creveld; "The Tunnels of Hill 60" (In the Great War, generals willingly expended lives to win and hold a tiny man-made mound near Ypres. If, today, it hardly seems to rise above the surrounding landscape, there is a reason) by Robert Cowley; "Alexander in India: The Battle at the Edge of the Earth" (In the history of war, few gestures are more romantic than Alexander's decision to probe the terra incognita that was India--or to do battle with a beast that seemed right out of myth) by Arther Ferrill; "Britain's Finest Hour: Artists as Witnesses" (They left a matchless record of the desperate early years of World War II when the whole country was a front line. Here, in a special portfolio, is the work of six of the best) by Ken McCormack and Hamilton Darby Perry; "Mutiny on the Potemkin" (The actual event turns out to be less glorious than the revolutionary icon the communists and the moviemaker Eisenstein made of it, but more fascinating as a study of human behavior) by Elihu Rose; "Last Stand" (An eminent historian finds that Custer was less to be blamed than his opponents were to be admired. But for the Plains Indians, the Little Bighorn was the last stand) by Robert W. Utley; "In Review: Vann's Private War" (No American who served in Vietnam acquired more mystique than John Paul Vann. Geoffrey Ward reviews Neil Sheehan's extraordinary account of his career, A Bright Shining Lie) by Geoffrey C. Ward and "Some Final Words about Military History (Makers of history--and historians--view the subject of military history.).
