A Maritime History of the American Revolutionary War
Year: 2023 Language: English Author: Theodore Corbett Genre: History Publisher: Pen and Sword Maritime Edition: 1st (June, 2023) ISBN: 9781399040419 Format: EPUB Quality: eBook Pages count: 280 Description: A Maritime History of the American Revolutionary War: An Atlantic-Wide Conflict over Independence and Empire - a detailed look at the American Revolutionary War as an Atlantic-wide conflict. While many books have been written on the naval history of the Revolution, this is one of the first to treat it in its entirety as an Atlantic-wide conflict. While its geographical scope is vast, it features overlooked aspects of the war in which sloops and barges fought, actions which proved to be as decisive as the familiar ship of the line confrontations. It is also history from the bottom up, emphasizing the role of the crew as much the not always heroic officers. From naval perspective the rebellious colonies did not gain a military victory, though Benjamin Franklin was able to secure their independence at the peace table in Europe. The final chapter on the Royal Navy’s evacuation of white and black loyalists, will be examined in more detail in the author’s forthcoming Pen & Sword book.
