Book Overview
A Libel Of Spanish Lies is a historical document written by Henry Savile in 1596. The book recounts the fight in the West Indies during the time of the Spanish conquest. It was found at the sack of Cales, which refers to the capture of the Spanish city of Cadiz by the English in 1596. The book is a scathing critique of the Spanish and their tactics during the war, and it is written in a satirical tone. The author uses humor and irony to expose the falsehoods and exaggerations of the Spanish propaganda machine. The book is a valuable historical record of the conflict between England and Spain in the late 16th century, and it provides insight into the political and social context of the time. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the West Indies and the early modern period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
