Sir John Hawkins : Queen Elizabeth's slave trader

Kelsey, Harry, 1929-2003
Books
Although outshone in the popular imagination by Drake, Sir John Hawkins was more successful as a trader & courtier. By turns a pirate, slaver & admiral, Hawkins could claim to have started the West Indies trade & was knighted for his role in smashing the Spanish Armada. This is a lively portrait.
