Description

Product Description The Seven Years War was the most successful in British History, with naval supremacy triumphantly asserted over France and Spain, and a vast new overseas empire conquered. This is the story of the British shipping that carried, supplied and sustained the British expeditions that shattered French and Spanish imperial power in America.Solidly based on primary sources, the book shows that the tide of victories would have been impossible without a sophisticated and highly effective logistical support operation which got the troops, provisions and munitions to where they were needed and then maintained British armed forces in and off the coasts of Europe and throughout the world. Review The Seven Years War was the time when England became a world power. In part this was because of the struggle between the European powers, but also this was a time when England was developing new types of ships to take them to new trading grounds. This book breaks new ground in its analysis of British actions during this time. It is also a quite fascinating read. --Books-On-Line About the Author The late David Syrett was Distinguished Professor of History at Queens College, City University of New York and a well-known and respected writer in the field of naval history in the mid-18th century.
