In 1588, Europe watched in suspense as two naval giants met in a confrontation that would redefine the balance of power. Stormfire Over the Channel provides a meticulous reference-style exploration of the battles of the Spanish Armada-an ambitious invasion force challenged by unpredictable weather, swift English maneuvering, and shifting political tides.Designed for teachers seeking clear, structured, and authoritative material, this book breaks down the campaign with precision. It traces Spain's strategic motivations, England's defensive preparations, and the tactical decisions that unfolded across the Channel. Each phase of the conflict-formation approaches, fire-ship attacks, ship-to-ship engagements, and the harrowing northern retreat-is presented with accessible clarity supported by historical records and modern scholarship.Readers gain insight into how technology, leadership, naval doctrine, and environmental forces shaped the outcome of one of history's defining maritime confrontations. More than a dramatic retelling, this reference-oriented work provides the contextual depth needed to teach, analyze, or compare early modern naval warfare. Step into the heart of a battle where wind, steel, and strategy collided on an epic scale.
