Inhaltsangabe

The struggle for American independence constituted a new form of conflict, in which the issue was political as well as economic. Widespread opposition to British rule made it impossible for the occupying armies to hold more than small pockets of territory, inevitably on the coast where they could be supported and supplied by the Navy. This made seapower the key to the war. To many in Britain, America was wild and largely unknown which led to an active market for maps and images of the places and battles. The educated classes followed campaigns through prints and illustrated magazines. In time, paintings and engravings were produced which were based on sketches done on the spot, while many of the actual combatants kept illustrated journals. This volume draws on these sources to achieve an impression of the maritime aspects of the conflict in all its variety and drama. It also illustrates many significant background aspects of the war, in the form of thematic box texts, on such subjects such as ship types, the weapons and the organization involved. It also contributes to an understanding of how the American Revolution was seen as the time. The book is one of a series which draws upon the collection of the National Maritime Museum at Greenwich, illustrating the great maritime events of the pre-photographic era from contemporary paintings, prints, drawings, charts and plans.

Anbieterinformationen

BookLovers of Bath is based in the rural idyll of Peasedown St. John in Somerset (God's Own Country) in the south west of England and actually very nearly in Bath. After 20 years of being ?internet only? I have now opened a shop, Fact or Fable, in the premises of our now-closed Post Office. With over 10,000 books in my, recently shrunken, storage unit and another 5,000 or so in the shop I run an old-fashioned book business with every book listed, graded, picked, packed and posted by my own fair hand? abetted by my Jack Russells who are really, not, helpful.
