Description: Clarendon Press, 1987. Linnen band met stofomslag. Pp: 420. Why did Britain put so much effort into fighting Revolutionary France in the Caribbean? The first full-scale study of the politics, economics, administration, and costly execution of these expeditions, this book casts new light on British military power and its connection with economic strength in the late 18th century. Professor Duffy contends that the war waged in the West Indies changed the future of the Caribbean, altered European attitudes towards blacks, and enabled Britain to sustain its war effort in Europe.
