Book Synopsis Soldiers, Sugar, and Seapower by : Michael Duffy
Book excerpt: Britain's war with Revolutionary France in the Caribbean was one of the most difficult and dangerous in British history. Why was this war so important to England? Casting new light on British military power and its connection with economic strength, this book reveals how the war 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.
