This volume is part of a comprehensive series that seeks to narrate significant moments in world history through the masterful words of eminent historians.

The opening of this volume sets the stage by summarizing the historical context surrounding the reign of Philip II of Spain and Queen Elizabeth I of England. It discusses the shifting religious landscapes and the conflicts that arose during their reigns, including Philip’s ambitions to restore Catholicism and the ensuing Protestant resistance led by key figures like John Knox in Scotland.
