The booklet provides ample information about Elizabethan Foreign Policy between 1558 and 1603 and is devided into six chapters each dealing with a particular time frame and events impacting or changing the foreign policy as a result. I would recommend it to readers wanting to gain general knowledge about the subject. Don't expect in-depth information though - there are far better books available on some of the main players who determined and put their stamp on foreign policy under Elizabeth I - be it Sir William Cecil, later Lord Burleigh or his son and successor Sir Robert Cecil, later Earl of Salisbury, Sir Francis Walsingham and most significantly Lord Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex who was all but in title the Queen's Foreign Minister between 1593 when he gained a seat on the Privy Council and the end of 1597.
