In this eyewitness account of the defeat of the Spanish Armada there is a dramatic look at the personality of Queen Elizabeth and Francis Bacon pitted against each other over questions of mercy and authority. Bacon's quest to serve compassion is a back drop to the war that lasted less than two weeks but changed England. Francis was born with much more than a dream. A factor that makes the pain of his need to help others so exquisite was that he was near the power to change his country by succeeding his mother to the crown. "Welcome to My World" would be an appropriate designation to the Francis Bacon's cypher story and what a world, indeed. Young Francis Bacon shows his deep understanding of human nature by his penetrating self discernment as well as continuously conducting personal psychological experiments to deepen his knowledge of others. The Shakespeare plays are further proof of that. The defeat of the Spanish Armada is an inside look at perhaps the greatest literary genius in history reporting his experiences during one of the greatest battles in history.
