SHORTLISTED FOR THE BEST FIRST BOOK CATEGORY OF THE TEMPLER MEDAL
2016 At the end of 1758, Britons could proudly boast of the
numerous victories which had been achieved against the forces of
King Louis XV. Although the Seven Years' War, or French and Indian
War, was far from over, 1758 marked a significant turning point.
Uniquely, this book provides an insight into the initial stages of
the Seven Years War, and explains why Britain failed, despite the
many advantages which it enjoyed. George Yagi employs an immense
amount of varied primary material in order to provide the most
thorough analysis yet of British failure during the early stages of
the Seven Years' War. In doing so, it aims to dispel commonly held
misconceptions and prove that the reasons for failure are much more
complicated than has been assumed.
