About this book
This intriguing book argues that the sixteenth-century treaties King Philip III forged with Spains most powerful enemies were not intended to ensure a permanent peace. Instead the author shows Philips plan was to lull his foes thereby enabling Spain to regain its strength after fifty years of incessant and expensive warfare. Ending the truce and resuming war with the Dutch the English and the French were all a part of the grand strategy.
