Naval And Military History Of The Wars Of England: Including The Wars Of Scotland And Ireland (Volume Iv)

Clashing fleets in narrow seas, marching columns across rain-darkened fields, councils of war that decide the fate of kingdoms: Thomas Mante records them all with the cool precision of a soldier and the eye of a storyteller in Naval And Military History Of The Wars Of England: Including The Wars Of Scotland And Ireland (Volume IV). Every campaign exacts its price. Focusing on the intertwined conflicts of the British Isles, Mante blends narrative drive with careful record, tracing how battles by sea and land steadily forged a new balance of power. Students of naval and military history encounter detailed accounts of British battles by sea, sieges, expeditions and shifting alliances, set firmly within the broader sweep of wars of England history and British Isles warfare history during the age of sail naval history. Writing in the eighteenth century, Mante offers an indispensable British war history book, long consulted by historians of war and empire, for anyone seeking a primary-era view of eighteenth century British wars, the Scottish and Irish wars, and the imperial rivalries that frame so much Seven Years War history. At once an engrossing narrative and a dependable military history reference book, this classic military history volume speaks equally to curious general readers, for military history students and collectors alike. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
